    Mahtab's Story Slide 2 Summary

    Slide 1 – ‘Mahtab’s Story’ is an eventful novel, full of powerful and demanding moments. Throughout this novel Mahtab learns new responsibilities and takes control and learns how to grow up in her dark and complicated story.

    Personal Narrative: Shmuel Basch

    I want to tell myself everything that I wish I would have known sooner; however, I never do. Although it is a painful wound that seeming will never close, I do not wish to change the past. Everything happens for a reason, and I do not want to put my own selfish desires, before God’s plan. As I talk to the young man, I pretend to be someone else. I go by the name Jon. I listen and remember as he pours out his heart to me, like he always does when I have this dream. “So, Jon, have you ever been in love?” With a smirk on my face, I know exactly where this conversation is going. It used to hurt to talk about Anne. At first, I couldn’t even bring myself to have the conversation, but now, it is my favorite. “Do you mean with a woman, or myself?” Shmuel leans back, balancing his chair on its two back legs and laughs, “Don’t play with me old man.” Shmuel’s words are playfully cruel. His defiance and rebellion brings back vivid memories of when he was young, playful, and dumb. I neatly fold my hands together on the table before us, and wait. I listen to all he has to say about the love of his life, Anne. He talks about her fiery red hair that matches perfectly with her attitude, about the freckles on her nose, and about the way she sometimes snorts when she laughs. He tells the story of how he took her boating on their first date and how the boat had flipped over. Shmuel had thought that the date was ruined, but to his…

    “I could do some things well. Some things I was good at, like math or painting or even sports, but the second a boy puts his arm around me, I forgot about wanting to do anything else, which felt like a relief at first until it became like sinking into muck” (230). This plea for attention demonstrates that the protagonist’s personal interests are subsided by the simple want for attention. Although the men are characterized by their name, their names are simply benchmarks that represent the different stages of affection she lusts for throughout the tale. Roger and Tim were two of the earlier boys in her life, with using phrases such as, “We had been dancing so hard before.” And, “Roger was fast. In his illegal car, we drove to the reservoir, the radio blaring, talking fast, fast, fast. (229) she describes that she didn’t particularly seek the attention from the men themselves, but rather the excitement from the thrill of the lifestyle the boys had led on. It wasn’t until she experienced the death of Eben she had inadvertently…
