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.

In "helen grey" what does the narrator suggest will be the outcome if helen grey does not change her ways
Butoxors [25]
I had the same problem with this question and I know I'm late, but I am answering it for future students who may have trouble with this question. I believe the narrator is saying that if Helen Grey does not change her ways she will be unhappy. Men think she is beautiful, but because her personality is ugly they will find her unattractive. She will be bitter. In the poem it states, "Take heed, you yet may trip and fall, and no man care to stretch his arms."
