There are seldom times when a book is able to have a <strong>profound<\/strong> effect on my psyche or perception. However, there is a book that is able to have that effect on me to a certain extent. It is a book that still makes me emotional and excited while reading. Whenever I try re-reading the book, I always <strong>unravel <\/strong>something new and fresh. The book, named \u2018A Thousand Splendid Suns\u2019, is a very famous semi-autobiographical novel written by Khaled Hosseini. The words woven by the author in the book perfectly <strong>encapsulate<\/strong> the ordeal faced by women in the Middle East.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The book primarily revolves around the life of Mariam and Laila, the two <strong>protagonists<\/strong> of the story. The author has masterfully crafted the plot to accurately depict the <strong>oppression<\/strong>, sexism and <strong>misogyny<\/strong> faced by Middle Eastern women on a daily basis through the eyes of its protagonists. As I previously stated, whenever I re-read the book, I am able to decipher or <strong>constru<\/strong>e something new, whether it be its subtext, symbolism, or metaphors. \u2018A Thousand Splendid Suns\u2019 is about many things, but at its core, the story is primarily about suffering, perseverance, shame, reputation, love, belonging and women\u2019s rights in Afghanistan. These humane aspects or themes of the story are what make the book so touching and emotional.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I first read the book, I was honestly <strong>on the verge of tears<\/strong>. Albeit the story may be set miles and kilometres away from my own world, it still <strong>resonates<\/strong> with me every time I read it. This is due to the universal themes used in the story that make you<strong> tethered<\/strong> to the world of Laila and Mariam. Once you delve deep into the world of the characters, you cannot help but feel deeply for them. The story, irrespective of its <strong>melancholic<\/strong> themes, is still hopeful. It teaches us the value of perseverance and resolve. The story insinuates that if we keep going forward <strong>against all odds<\/strong>, there will be <strong>light at the end of the tunnel.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that being said, the book did have a huge impact on my outlook towards society. I started to empathise with women who are victims of <strong>patriarchy<\/strong> and repressionNeed help to prepare for IELTS?
