either to help or to hurt. Such a character, for example, may choose to mislead others for personal safety, to spare someone’s feelings,
or to carry out a crime.
Choose a novel or play in which a character deceives others. Then, in a well-written essay, analyze the motives for that
character’s deception and discuss how the deception contributes to the meaning of the work as a whole.]]> 2022-04-20 11:46:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mcohen609/taud6m6dlg74xtw2/wish/2150184564 mcohen609 https://padlet.com/mcohen609/taud6m6dlg74xtw2/wish/2150244356 In the Novel by Kahled Hosseini, A Thousand Splendid Suns, one of the characters, Rasheed, deceives Mariam into thinking the man she loves has died ultimately displaying the harsh and unfair treatment women faced in Afghanistan at the time.

institutional. Such collisions can call a character’s sense of identity into question. Select a novel or play in which a character responds
to such a cultural collision. Then write a well-organized essay in which you describe the character’s response and explain its relevance
to the work as a whole.]]> 2022-04-20 12:42:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mcohen609/taud6m6dlg74xtw2/wish/2150248185 mcohen609 https://padlet.com/mcohen609/taud6m6dlg74xtw2/wish/2150256833 In the play Master Harold and the Boys by Athol Fugard, Hally is a white boy who grew up in Apartheid South Africa yet is good friends with his parent's black employees.
