Chapter 22
In January 1989 the last of the Soviets leave the city and everyone watches them go. Laila is standing with her family when Tariq shows up in a huge Russian fur hat. Laila tells him he looks ridiculous. Laila is glad he can feel a little happiness, because ever since his uncle died the fall before and his father had a heart attack, he has been morose. Hasina, Tariq, and Laila eat together in the city that day. When Laila and Tariq go home with Babi and Mammy, a man on the bus says that the new leader, Mohammad Najibullah (1947–96), is a puppet president, not a real Muslim leader. Mammy prays on the bus. That night, Laila and Tariq go to see a movie. It is a Soviet film badly dubbed in Farsi, and they laugh at the stiff sentences that have nothing to do with what is really happening. The woman in the film, named Alyona, is in a love scene, kissing a man, and Tariq says he never wants to get married. Laila thinks about kissing Tariq and what it would be like. Tariq makes a snot joke to relieve the tension, but it is clear that he and Laila are a little uncomfortable after having watched a love scene together.
Chapter 23
In April 1992 Tariq's father, having had three strokes, is weak and unhealthy. Hasina has been married off to the man she feared her parents would force on her, and they have headed for Germany. The Soviet Union is falling apart, and the country of Russia emerges. Najibullah, who had been the puppet president in Afghanistan, claims to be an observant Muslim, but it is too little, too late. He ends up surrendering, and the Mujahideen finally come to Kabul. Mammy knows all of their names and all of the factions they run, but her hero is always Massoud. Mammy finally gets out of bed, opens her curtains, and goes back to her kitchen, rearranging it back to the way she likes it. She decides she will have a party and invites everyone she knows.
Answer and Explanation:
Louise Mallard is the main character in Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour." Even though the duration of what happens to Mrs. Mallard is really only of an hour, she undergoes great change.
<u>When the short story begins, Mrs. Mallard is but a subservient wife</u> who happens to have a heart condition. Hence, a friend and her sister are extremely cautious when telling her about her husband's death. J<u>ust like what is expected of her, Mrs. Mallard is sad. She goes upstairs to cry alone, and locks herself up in her room.</u>
<u>However,</u><u> once she sits by the open window, her transformation begins. Notice that this is developed primarily through internal thoughts.</u><u> Readers have access to what Mrs. Mallard is thinking and feeling, and can for that reason keep up with her change. She suddenly notices that world hasn't stopped turning, that others haven't stopped living, because of her husband's death. </u><u>By looking outside, she realizes that there is a whole world out there, full of excitement and experiences for her to live. She feels free for the first time in her life. She no longer needs to worry about explaining herself or asking for permission.</u>
<u>In a matter of an hour, Mrs. Mallard goes from submissive wife to independent woman. Her perception of life is altered by the sudden feeling of freedom. When she comes back downstairs, she is a completely different woman.</u> Unfortunately, she also dies upon coming downstairs. The shock of seeing her husband alive is too much for her sick heart to bear.
