One chapter I found to really to be the turning point of these two women's distance relationship was, Rasheed's disapproval in his new baby daughter Aziza to Laila. It is immediately evident that he does not approve of the child, as he is unhappy it is a girl. He refuses to help Laila with the baby, and often voices his anger about the child. Laila loves motherhood and finds everything the baby does to be astounding and wonderful. Mariam often admits to herself that she admires Laila's devotion to her daughter. One night, Laila and Rasheed argue because Laila refuses to have sex with him. He rushes into Mariam's room and prepares to beat Mariam with his belt, because he blames her for Laila's hesitation.

Ezra develops through these events, giving us the theme that even though it’s not easy, sometimes you just have to move on.

In this task one comes abler to see how to job search by reading traits and skills one has acquired rather than the job itself (i.e. a psychologist) for job searching with simply a bachelor’s degree. Such skills include interpersonal and teamwork skills and quantitative skills to name two. A fun fact that had come drawn up in the book comes that only one fourth of students gain further education after attaining a bachelor’s degree in psychology, and alongside this come that only 9% of psychology majors were unemployed at the time, a figure that may not better indicate those working in underwhelming positions however. The chapter went on to explain many positions that are then available upon a bachelor’s

The story takes place in the poor areas in a small town located in Australia. Where the protagonist Ed Kennedy solves some of the message that he receives. But what if Ed lived in an area with a better economical stance? I think the story of the book would be much alike although the plot is played out in a different area.
