Thousand Splendid Sons/Chapter 11-20
Who was rasheed abusing?
Who is Laila?
"Laila it is, then?" Hakim asked, bouncing his daughter.
"Laila it is," Fariba said, smiling tiredly. "Night Beauty. It's perfect."
Laila is the daughter of Hakim and Fariba
His powerful hands clasped her jaw. He shoved two fingers into her mouth and pried it
open, then forced the cold, hard pebbles into it. Mariam struggled against him, mumbling,
but he kept pushing the pebbles in, his upper lip curled in a sneer.
"Now chew," he said.
Rasheed is mostly abusing Mariam as you can see in the quote you can see that he abuses her by making her eat something she doesn't want to.
What Happened to Mammy when her sons died?

Chapter 21-30
What happened to Tariq when he was ik the hospital?
How did Tariq take the situations after his Uncle and Father Died?
"The previous fall, Tariq's uncle in Ghazni had died of a heart attack, and, a few weeks
later, Tariq's father had suffered a heart attack of his own, leaving him frail and tired, prone
to anxiety and bouts of depression that overtook him for weeks at a time."(Chapter.22,Pg.99)
Reflection:Tariq was depressed for a while because he didn't have anybody by him side but after a while he started to overcome it.
"In the morning, the bed was empty. I asked a nurse. She said he fought valiantly."
Laila was dimly aware that she was nodding. She'd known. Of course she'd known. She'd
known the moment she had sat across from this man why he was here, what news he was
bringing."(Chapter.28,Pg.129)
Refelection:After a short period of time Tariq died due to the injuries he had Abul thought it was just the drugs he was on.
What did Laila see when she saw he blood on the ground?
"Laila saw three drops of blood on the rug, her blood, and pictured her parents sitting on
this couch later, oblivious to the sin that she had committed. And now the shame set in, and
the guilt, and, upstairs, the clock ticked on, impossibly loud to Laila's ears. Like a judge's
gavel pounding again and again, condemning her."(Chapter.25,Pg.117)
Reflection:When laila saw her blood drop on the rug she imagined her parents sitting on the couch because she missed them.
