1,000 5.1
Do Now : Discuss “She [Mariam] thought of her entry into this world, the harami child of a lowly villager, an unintended thing, a pitiable, regrettable accident. A weed. And yet she was leaving the world as a woman who had loved and been loved back” (370).
OBJECTIVE:
analyze the theme of redemption in 1000 Splendid Suns and identify Hosseini’s purposes for writing fiction.
Agenda:
- Do now
- -Discuss Mariam’s final scene- shadows, memories, final images; “One last time, Mariam did as she was told.”
- Popcorn Reading- Chapter 51 :
- In a google doc, free-write a response to:
- “Mariam is in Laila’s own heart, where she shines with the bursting radiance of a thousand suns” (414).
- Does Mariam ultimately find redemption?
- What does Mariam give to Laila and her children with her final act?
- As a result, what does Mariam symbolically finally get to become?
- From Chapter 51, identify one example of imagery (any type) and explain how this use of imagery reflects a theme in the novel.
