I need at least a sentance or two more before "In 'A Thousand Splendid Suns,' Khaled Hosseini shifts..." Because that is my thesis. I also need a title for my paper and I am drawing a blank. If anything needs to be changed just tell me, I'm not very good at writing essays at all. Thanks so much!
Khaled Hosseini's, A Thousand Splendid Suns is a story of two Afghan women; Mariam and Laila. Although the women differ greatly in age and upbringing, when they are denied rights of equality and freedom, they realize they must work together to escape and live a better life. In A Thousand Splendid Suns, Khaled Hosseini shifts the narrative perspective throughout the different sections. Overall, the story is told from an omniscient third person. The external character shows the reader world events as they happen and how it affects the main characters, Mariam and Laila, with a factual, unbiased perspective. As the story progressed, we switch to third person limited to understand Mariam and Laila's individual struggles and experiences, yet we never know what any of the other characters are thinking unless it is said. By shifting narrative perspectives, Hosseini demonstrates how women help each other achieve a shared goal in a time of civil war and social inequality.
