Answer: Hoi friend,
Hey, I missed sooo much and you dont even know it! Its just not the same around here with you gone. Oh and today Anniyah just pranked the teacher and it was soo funny and when I just turned around to see you I forgot you were gone :( . I miss getting into something crazy with you. I miss our crazy plans and things we say to each other. It is genuinely true that we would be put in a mental hospital if other people heard what we said to each other. I miss writing to each other in class instead of writing notes. I miss our fast food runs after school instead of studying together. I remember when we first met. Neither of us knew what to say, so we started the way most great friends do, with “hello, my name is…” From there, one could say the rest is history. But it’s that history that is so important.
There are so many things I miss about you. I miss seeing you smile when I say something unintentionally funny. I miss our movie nights, when it was just the two of us. I miss the way you were an open ear, a shoulder to lean on and someone to laugh with, all in one package. Omg I miss you :(
From your friend, Annikah
Explanation:
From the beginning this passage talked about Faizula
doing things for other people, not really looking for anything in return. He didn’t
want to bother the person behind him by leaning his seat back, let other people
go ahead even though he didn’t really want to. For a while it didn’t seem like
he would catch a break but when he was nice to the guy selling roses, and he
saw how it impacted him, all his niceness payed off.
I think the roses in the story represent the beauty
that can come out of one kind act. It sounds cheesy but, in the story, it talked
about how Faizula felt good about giving the man a smile and extra money, even
though the whole day he was being kind to no avail. The man was trying to sell
the roses to many people but each one shot him down, then when Faizula changed
his mind and bought one it changed the man’s whole mood, and in a way gave him
hope.
Faiula’s culture influences the story by creating a
sort of guideline we know he must follow. Not only should one be always kind
but self-disciplinary. He showed self-discipline when he didn’t break his fast
and chose to focus on his work. Through out the story he was consistent with
his actions and thoughts and that emphasizes how good of a person he really is.
