One of the two books I read during the two weeks is called A Thousand Splendid Sun by Khaled Hosseini. This book contains 367 pages and each chapter is very small. It is a novel and the narrator is an omniscient narrator. The book is divided into four sections and is done for a reason. The first section talks about the childhood of a young girl named Mariam, her family dynamic, and the great obstacles she had to face as a child. The second section is also about a young girl named Laila who's life in someway seemed better then Mariam's, however she stilled had many challenges as well. The third section demonstrates the connection between Mariam and Laila, which was very unexpected. The fourth and final section was the closing to the life of both adult women. The setting of this story takes place in Afganistan during the Cold War between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. At this time, Afganistan was in control by a leader and its officials that were taken off their throne by a rebellion group who were against their corruption. Nevertheless, after the rebellious group took power, they started to fight for power and territory between each other. This is based on true historical events in which many innocent people died due to this war between groups who wanted to take control of the land. I really did love this book and it touched my heart. This book highlights and is descriptive about the culture, beliefs, and traditions of the ethnic group, which is totally different than our culture but very interesting to learn. It also reveals and really does illustrate the pain, fear, and troubles the people of the country had to face due to being in between the war. At moments it is very difficult to understand how is it possible that there is so much suffering. This is mainly because even though the story itself isn't real, it is a fact that there are many true stories similar to this one. It is a very realistic story for so many human beings in this world. I received my consolation throughout this story by the hope and faith of the characters in order to continue living and getting the best out of every small special moment.

A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
During the first two weeks of no school, I started to read a little every day and sometimes a lot. It was very odd because I was never a reader and reading was never a hobby until now. I really do enjoy reading as it happens to occur for about a month already. However, now due to homework and getting reading for the AP exam next month, I only have time to read Spanish literature that might be in the exam. I also enjoy reading this type of literature mainly because it's all classic.
