I decided to choose these cities, because they suited the questions I chose the best. The cities I chose for the elements of literature were also based on what suited best with what element, so I just looked for points that I could relate to those elements of literature and explained it. The cities I chose strongly showed the answer to the question and it was easy to use them as a guide. I think they also suited the subjects the questions were about.

I discussed the following elements of literature: Setting, mood & tone, point of view, plot and Narrative. At first I thought this wasn’t really important to study, but I came to the conclusion that the elements of literature really make a difference and can change a book depending on how they are used. It can make a book very good or very bad, in this case it benefited the book, For example the plot made it exiting, the mood & tone created the emotions in the book, the setting could make you imagine it because it was sometimes really detailed and the point of view made the story have a certain vibe and you really got to know the character. The only thing I didn’t like was the interviews in between the story it didn’t have any value to the story Enaiat was telling.

Narrative (Rome)

The narrative is made up of Enaiat telling his story, but this is sometimes interrupted by the writer asking him question. Parts of the intervieuw with Enaiat are put in the book, this also happens when Enaiat tells about his journey in Rome. An example of this is “ How do you choose a place to settle, Enaiat? “ ( pag 190.) These kinds of interruptions happen a lot, it doesn’t really add anything to the story, but it’s more a reaction on what Enaiat is telling. It interrupts the Narrative, instead you could skip those parts and read it as a memoir. In Rome it’s  also told in a sequence he tells the events in a specific order example quotes of those events following each other are: “ I joined the queue. They told me they were…….. down in. “ ( pag 190.) next event he was in a conversation with Payam “ Yes, this is payam. Are you really Enaiatollah? “ ( pag 192) next event he went to the office of foreign minors “ It was Payam who……. Of the air.”(pag 193)  You can tell from these quotes he keeps telling new events that happen. So the narrative is the sequence of the events that happen.

The plot is when they are on the boat ( dinghy) going to Greece. This quote is an shows why it was the most exciting part of the book: “ The waves were so high they covered it…….will eat us. “(pag 153)another quote “ And liaqat couldn’t hold on.” (pag 155.)This quote shows it’s the plot, because it was one of the most exciting points in the book, this made you question whether he was going to make it or not and if there would die more of them. Of course you already know he’s going to make it, because you’re reading the story he told about his journey, but at that point you’re still curious what will happen.

In Athens everything was written in 1st person an example of that is: “ I remember that one night……. Slowly stroking him.” (pag 174.) You can see that it’s in 1st person because he always uses I. In this quote he also starts his sentence with I, this shows it’s in 1st person. It would defininetly be different if it was for example from his friend Jamal’s perspective it would create a whole other vibe, because you don’t know what happened with him and how he ended up, so the things Enaiat tells can be a lot different because he was just a boy of 10 and experienced things differently.

# data[].attributes.body
The mood started of pretty tense they were happy that they had come so far and afraid what would come there way at the same time. This shows in the following quotes:

“ During the first few months, neither I nor Sufi set foot outside the site. We were afraid of the Iranian police. We were afraid of ending up……. In Iran know what Telisia and Sang Safid are. ”( pag 77.)This shows they were indeed really scared, because they didn’t even want to leave the site. They didn’t yet trust the place and the people, they needed time to belief it was safe. The mood changed after those couple of months the mood was now changed into a happy and safe place, somewhere he was comfortable at. You can see this because of these quotes: “ I have to tell the truth, because if anyone ever reads these words…… I liked it there, on the site. It’s true we worked very hard. We worked all…… hours a day.” (pag 81.) He shows he now is happy and feels comfortable at where he is, he started appreciating it and really like it there, even though he had to work hard. He also really liked the people he worked with and of course his friend Sufi made it a lot less hard, because he had a friend to share this experience with. The tone the writer wrote in was pretty positive and the text was pretty detailed in some parts some example quotes of this are: “ An electric cable……. Light bulb on the end. “ (pag 76.)This sentence is very detailed because the writer writes almost 4 sentences only about an electric cable, he gives a lot of details about where the cable goes to this happens a lot when he talks about this city. It’s written positive because the writer writes it in a way that only the story is negative at some points but not the tone of the writer.

In what ways does Enaiat adapt when he moves to Turin in Italy?

# data[].attributes.body
He tried to fit in as best as possible, he moved in with the Italian family, who eventually adopted him who where: Danila the mother, Marco the father, Fransesco and matteo the children. After a couple of weeks they decided to send Enaiat to school. He tried his best in school and made sure he got good grades, he also tried to learn the Italian language as fast as possible to make it easier for him to communicate. He learns to eat new kinds of food and a new way of living. Because he couldn’t speak Italian he couldn’t communicate well, he solved this problem by going to school. ”It might be better if you did some courses, said Danilla. In a fit of euphoria, I chose three courses because I was afraid one wasn’t enough. “ ( pag 202.)This quote shows he really wanted to put effort in adapting to the country by learning more about it even if that caused that he had no friends .“ I remember I didn’t get on too well with my…………. liked being at school. I studied a lot……. That bothered the others a lot. Then things started getting better. I made friends “ ( pag 205.)Soat first he didn’t have a lot of friends because most of his classmates thought he was a bit of a nerd, but after a while he found a way to fit in and made new friends. He had also send a letter to request if he could be granted an asylum as a political refugee to make him an official non illegal resident of Italy. He got a letter back to meet him at his second year of school and succeeded in persuading the counsel. So he really tried his best to fit in adapt, by putting effort in it and being interested in the Italian culture and language, which worked out pretty good.

How does Enaiat’s perception of trust change after he arrived in mytilene?

# data[].attributes.body
In the first part of the trip to Mytilene he really holds back and he doesn’t trust people, because of the experiences he had of being almost robbed on the market, scared people would steal his money and mostly because of the way the police treated him. He also always had to be careful during the times he worked for Kaka Hamid and when he worked in the factory, because he was illegal and a lot of people would definitely turn him in to the police. You can see he doesn’t really trust people because of the following quotes: “ it would be easy for anyone to rob or cheat me.” (pag 42.) “ This quotes shows he already was insecure about himself in terms of protecting the merchandise.“ I really needed some chewing gum, the leader said. Give it back to me, I said. Come and get it. If I’d thrown myself thrown myself on their leader, ……and all my merchandise in their boxes.” (pag 46.) “ When the money started to grow……..I adopted a different system.  I would take the notes…… in a place that only I knew.”(pag 82.)This shows he was scared people would steal his money and how he didn’t trust people even if he had lived with them for a long time. Also the fear was created by multiple experiences with the police of repatriation, being almost caught aside the road because someone called in they were there and hearing stories about being fingerprinted. All these things together made him distrusting, because he had already experienced so much bad things with people he just gave in and stopped trusting people as quickly. Eventually this benefited him in a way that people weren’t able to use him for bad purposes. His perception of trust changed after the incident with his friends he met on the trip To turkey, which were: Hussein Ali, Soltan, Rhamat and Liaqat. One of them was stupid enough to stand on the side of the road thinking someone would give them a lift, instead when they arrived at the gas station the police showed up. Luckily Enaiat was at the telephone box pretending to call someone, so the police didn’t take him. He made a smart decision of running away and ended up at a tree and fell asleep. A sweet old lady woke him up and gave him food, he took a shower, got clean clothes and she even bought him a ticket for the boat to Turkey. “ After a while, the old lady who lived there came out. In the afternoon,…….. said goodbye and left. Yes, I though, there really are some very strange and very kind people in the world. “ (pag 165.)This was when his perception of trust changed, because the old lady showed that not everyone is cruel and that some do care about others no matter where they come from, that made him trust her in a way he had never trusted a complete stranger. So eventually his perception of trust became much more positive and he began to realize not everyone is the same.

How do borders connect or divide the people? What are the consequences of this for Enaiat in Baharestan?

# data[].attributes.body
Borders can divide people by them not being able to see their friends and family, because they’re not a resident of that country. For the police this can work positively because a lot less illegals will go to the country because they’re scared, but for the friends and family and just people in general, it has a really negative effect. It divides families and it takes away jobs for illegals, because they can’t work there and be a 100% sure the police won’t catch them. For Enaiat the border only divides people, because he wants to make the best out of his life. He does that by going across the border, but this also takes risks with it because you could easily be send to repatriation by the police, an example of on of those negative effects of having a border is when Enaiat get’s caught in Baharestan, he is send to repatriation and gets send back to the border of Afghanistan. “Just in time to get myself repatriated. When I saw the policemen spreading out through the site and yelling, with their weapons in their hands, that was all I could think of. Telisia. Sang Safid. “ (pag 89.) “ They shave our heads in the camp. Heart, Afghanistan. The nearest place to the border between Afghanistan  and Iran.” ( pag 91.) This was a bad experience for Enaiat but it didn’t stop him, because he wanted so badly to find a good place somewhere else, he decided to go back to Iran and work in Qom. It connected him to people like Sufi, because when he was brought back to the border of Afghanistan he realized he needed Sufi and that he actually really liked the people he worked with in Baharestan. He also heard rumors that Isfahan and Baharestan wasn’t safe anymore. You can see this because of the following quotes: “ There were rumours going around that Isfahan wasn’t safe anymore, and nor was Baharestan, because the police had received orders to repatriate everyone. So I called sufi at the stoncutting factory in Qom, and he told me that, for the moment, things were quiet there.” (pag 93.)So he discovers it’s very helpful to have good friends, because this job saved him for a couple of months. So for Enaiat it has a negative effect most of the time, but it can sometimes also work in a positive way.

He was very pleased with his village and house in Nava. In his opinion he had it pretty good there with his animals, large courtyard, kitchen and seeing the fruit grow and didn’t want to leave Nava. You can see this because of the following quotes: “I’d never have chosen to leave Nava. My village was a good place” (pag 19.)These quotes show he was very pleased with his life in Nava, he had a house with three floors and they lived on the first floor with guests and everyone else. The corner for cooking and making fire was below floor level. The animals lived on the second floor, which also had a storeroom where they kept the food for the animals. They had two kitchens one inside and one outside, so that in the summer it wouldn’t get so hot. Lastly they had a very large courtyard with apples, cherries, pomegranates, peaches, apricots and mulberries. The walls were made of mud and very thick. They had one cow and two sheep’s and grew corn on the fields, so it seemed pretty perfect but it was also dangerous, because the Taliban was a big enemy and really dangerous they even killed Enaiat’s teacher, but that didn’t take away the fact of how trusted he was in his village. He really liked it their and it had everything he wanted.

Why does Enaiat move from Qom to Istanbul and how does that affect him?

# data[].attributes.body
His life in Qom was pretty good. He had work at a stonecutting factory which paid him 70 000 toman a month, he had a place to sleep and food was provided for him by the factory. But there was one thing that convinced him he had to go, because of the fact he's an illegal he had the problem of police sending him back to the border. After the second time he was caught and brought back to the border of Afghanistan he decided he wanted to leave Iran, because this repatriation showed him that he didn’t want to experience this anymore. They treated him like trash and tried to take everything they could take away even if wasn’t worth anything. He shows this by saying the following.” You were all penniless. But even from someone who has nothing you can always take something. I showed him my wrist. To him, my watch wasn’t worth anything. He angrily unfastened it from my wrist and put it in his pocket, without a second glance at me. “ ( pag 104) These quotes show how unfair the police man are and that they take advantage of their power. This was Enaiats turning point the fact that they took his watch, his first watch ever, and that they tried to shoot him, and laughed about it, made him decide the following: “ Then when I stopped running – because I was far enough away - I thought about leaving Iran. “ I’d had enough of being afraid. “ That was when I made up my mind to try and go to Turkey. “(pag 107.)This shows he was ready to leave Iran and search for a better life in another country. After this experience, he went back to Qom and kept working in the factory for a while to earn money for the trip to Turkey. But he didn't have much hope, because everyone he talked to advised him not to make the trip, because it would be too dangerous and no one they knew survived the trip. Even though no one thought it was possible to make the trip and arrive alive, Enaiat still had faith that it could maybe work, so he accepted the offer to go to Turkey. “ We want to leave for Turkey, and we’ve put aside enough money to pay for the journey and to pay for you, too, if you want. What do you say? Yes. I say thank you and I accept. “(Pag. 113.). The journey to Turkey was much more dangerous than he thought and took a lot longer. He definitely learned to be more independent and developed courage, because he decided to go and because he thought it would benefit him what in the end it definitely did. He made new friends and survived the trip, this helped him a lot in the future because he wasn't that scared anymore to take risks and became more independent.

How does Enaiat’s behavior change after his mother left him in Quetta?

# data[].attributes.body
With his mom in Quetta, he could act like a child and do things such as, make mistakes, play and go to school. He didn’t have to worry about almost anything. When his mom left all of this changed he had to make money to buy food, clothes and to be able to afford a place to sleep at. So he had to grow up in a really short amount of time, an example of one of those mature decisions is when he made a deal with Osta sahib a shop owner. Osta Sahib proposed the following “ At the samavat, you’re paid with food and a place to sleep, nothing else, but if you work for me, I’ll give you money.” I’ll buy you…. we share the profit.” ( pag 41.) Enaiat would get 25% and Osta sahib the remaining 75% of the profit. This a perfect example of one of the good decisions he made to benefit himself, because this provided him work, which meant he would earn money to buy food and to rent a place to sleep at. There was no more time for being a kid, a lot in his daily routine changed and he made new friends. This quote shows how is life his daily routine changed. “ Everyday we went to the market with the other Hazara boys, and at lunch time we pooled our money for a bit of Greek yoghurt and chives, a few loaves of naan tandoori, which is flat, round bread baked in a clay oven, and some fruit or vegetables, if there were any. “ (pag 49.) He didn’t go to school anymore but instead he worked and he had to buy food for himself. This shows you he has become a lot more mature because he had no other choice, he had to make difficult choices, become independent and take care of himself because his mother left him.
