Chapter 10

Mohsen and Zunaria get into a really big fight in this chapter. Zunaria decides to never take off her burqa again, and she quits talking to her husband. Mohsen gets fed up with it and confronts her about it. She starts saying that she never wants to see him again and he says that he will give her time to cool off, but she just continues to say it. Nothing has been right between them since the day they took a walk through town. Things start to get violent, though, when Mohsen starts to grap and almost choke his wife. She tries to run away but he pulls at her and she fights back. Eventually she pushed him off of her and he falls and hits his head, killing him. I was surprised to see Mohsen be the one killed. I thought Zunaria would die and he would feel even worse about the situation. I was also shocked that Zunaria had the guts to say something to her husband. Even though she did practically hate him, I thought for sure she would just bite her tounge and do what he wanted her to without speaking to him because of their religion.
