He needs to feed them, to hold them close, and he needs to show them that God had a reason for their trials. He tells them that perhaps God, by allowing him to be jailed, saved him from something worse. Why does the author include these musings? to suggest Zeitoun’s fear of the unknown to emphasize Zeitoun’s unwavering faith to prove Zeitoun’s innocence and good standing to illustrate Zeitoun’s confidence in his children

The references to God's providence in this excerpt from Dave Eggers's book <em>Zeitoun </em>seems to suggest that these musings are included in order to emphasize Abdulrahman Zeitoun’s unwavering faith. His children are rightly scared after having experienced Hurricane Katrina (they are terribly afraid of water and of bursting pipes) and having witnessed the sentence and imprisonment of their father, but Zeitoun resorts to his faith in God's providence in order to appease them and reassure them, and himself, that they will eventually overcome this difficult challenge.
