My ancestors came in my country of America in chains. Take a look at me now. One more look. Once again perhaps. I see Barack almost everyday‚ praying as a Muslim in the Oval Office and around the Beautiful House. Also‚ all the years we have knowing each other‚ he has been praying as a Christian as I am.

In the Wedding of Zein written by Tayeb Salih‚ the portrayal of women in my opinion changes through out the story. They start off being the slaves of the man’s power by adapting that one man has the power to get them married if he falls in love with them.
