THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS - thesis statement and three topic sentences [5]
1. I think why Mariam refused to call witnesses at her trial because her guilty feeling to Laila's son, Zalmai. Eventhough Rasheed was so cruel to them, but he's still Zalmai's father. She took Zalmai's Happiness. The other side, i think it was freedom for Mariam. Freedom from abusing.
I think it was the first time for Mariam to feel as human especially feeling as women that have a right.
2. After i read that novel. i noticed that Mariam is good woman. She could live to them, because her responsibility for what she did. She killed Zalmai's father and how can she live to them if everyday, she must hear Zalmai asked where his father.
3. I think it is a complex question. Women have minority right. Generally, women just stay at home and no education. They can't go outside without a man. It makes that women didn't have any future plan. Mariam thought there was no future for her and why she must ran with Laila and Tariq if her future was end. But, for everything she thought, i think she should defended herself. Everyone (women and men) have the same right of law.
4. Everyone have different meaning of happiness. For Mariam, the happiness is her time with Jalil. When Jalil came to her house,when they went fishing, when Jalil talked a story to him. She felt Jalil gave his love to her. She was also feel that from Aziza. How Aziza love make her feeling as human. There is cherish, love and protection.
