Long Answer

1. Students could choose from any of the characters from whose perspectives the chapters are told. Students might write about Isma and her obligations to her siblings, Aneeka and her relationship with both Parvaiz and Eamon, Eamon and his relationship with his father, or Karamat and his treatment of his son, explaining how these family members all played a role in the tragedy of Eamonn and Aneeka’s death. Students who analyze Isma and Karamat in particular should draw attention to what it means that these characters are left alive at the end of the novel, how they will have to decide what to do moving forward now, and how the events of the novel may have affected their perception of the world.
