Compare And Contrast Mini's Father And The Cabulliwallah
Mini’s father and the Cabulliwallah had many differences. Her father didn’t have much time for chatter as did the Cabulliwallah. Her father was wealthy as the Cabulliwallah was not. They were from different countries as well and two totally different personalities. Mini’s father was a very busy writer whom was working on a novel and didn’t have much time to listen to his very talkative child. On the other hand, there was the Cabulliwallah, who had nothing but time. He enjoyed talking to the little girl because she reminded him of his little girl back home. Another difference between the two was their jobs and stature. As I stated earlier Mini’s father was a writer who was working on a novel. The Cabulliwallah was a man from Afghanistan

    As the novel is spoken in first person, its effectiveness is shown as it highlights to the reader that the story is from the child’s perspective, which is also shown in ‘The Simple Gift’ with the difference that it comes from more than one characters’ standpoint. It symbolizes that the author is directly addressing the reader to have a greater impact and engages them to continue reading. Throughout his childhood David becomes an isolated victim of his mother’s violence in comparison to how Billy is a victim to his fathers violence, which in turn makes him abandon his home and run away. David is rejected by his family members and is represented as the household slave as well as being his mothers outlet for anger.…

    Subhi, the protagonist, is a ten-year old boy stuck with his family in a refugee camp. The camp guards, known as ‘Jackets,’ treat their people very poorly. For instance, Subhi's best friend Eli states, “But we’re lucky, Subhi, because today’s food is only twelve days past its use-by date” (Fraillon 6). This shows that the people in the camp are not being given proper nutrition. Subhi also has a close relationship with his mother, who is seriously ill throughout the story.

    ‘The God of Small Things’, Arundhati Roy’s debut novel is now considered to be a world renowned literary sensation, mainly due to the distorted manner in which the story is told. Roy utilises the subversion of genre, a playful approach to language (especially when Estha and Rahel are concerned) and a complex temporal structure to portray a poetic retelling of “small things” and their importance. To fully appreciate the importance of the primary chapter we must reflect upon it with the rest of the novel in mind due to the non-linear chronology of the narrative.…

    2. Hassan is a harelipped (cleft lip) kite runner, his best friend or play mate is Amir who is rich, the opposite of Hassan. Hassan has a round face like a Chinese doll, flat broad nose, slanting green narrow eyes, tiny ears, and pointed stub chin. A cleft lip is a birth defect that usually appears as a missing part of the upper lip that can extend towards the nose. Harelip is another term for cleft lip, but is considered an offensive way to say it. He was also poor and he was not close to a lot of people. Hassan’s relationship based on his friendship with Amir, is that he was loyal to him and never told on his friends, he was easily persuaded to do things even when he knew he would upset his father. Hassan’s first word was Amir and I believe this was important because he was special to him. Just like a baby learning their first words such as “mama” or “dada”, Amir was Hassan’s first word, which as a result shows a significant meaning between how close they are towards each other. Hassan and Amir were both nursed by the same woman, and it is known that people who were fed from the same breasts have a kinship and even share a brotherhood. The contrast between Hassan and Amir would be that, Hassan is poor, Hazara Shi’a Muslim, lives in a mud shack, he runs for the kite, humble, athletic, loyal, intelligent, and always read Amir’s mind. Amir was wealthy,…

    Mini Wright lived in a farmhouse with her husband far away from town and all civilization. Minis own home represents her isolation from the rest of the world. It’s what she sees and lives with every day. It represents her loneliness, repetitive housework, married life, and all the things she resents in her life. Minis own husband, Mr. Wright, also symbolizes her loneliness and isolation. Mr. Wright is not a fun man to be around and he also frequently goes into town leaving Mini at the house to deal with her housework. When Mini suggested getting a party telephone so she can at least be in contact with the outside world, her husband quickly shoots her down. “I’m going to see if I can’t get John Wright to go in with me on a party telephone… he put me off, saying folks talked too much anyway, and all he asked was peace and quiet— I guess you know about how much he talked himself”. This seemingly unimportant sentence symbolizes Minis isolation; it also shows that Mr. Wright did not think that it is important for his wife to be in contact with the outside world.…
