Question

The kids fear water, yes, and when a pipe burst last year there were screams and nightmares, but slowly they’re growing stronger. For them he has to be strong, and he needs to look forward. 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 (it's not the 4th option)

Answer 2

Answer:

The author includes these musings to emphasize Zeitoun’s unwavering faith

Explanation:

This lines show how Zeitoun’s belief in something beyond humanity makes him confident that even when the situations do not look their best, it is for a specific purpose, which he would not know until he gets there, he says that maybe is better for him to be in jail because that could be protecting him from something worst which reinforces the idea of the unwavering faith.
