A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS: STUDY GUIDE / ONLINE NOTES

SYMBOLISM/ MOTIFS / IMAGERY / METAPHORS / SYMBOLS

Some examples of symbols include:

1. Jalil could afford to have others build this hut, but he and his sons did all the work. Nana says that it is his idea of penance, and she calls the hut a rat hole...........

..............15. There are four lines of poetry Zaman has painted at the orphanage as an answer to those who grumble and complain about the lack of funds and the slow bureaucracy:
Joseph shall return to Canaan, grieve not.
Hovels shall return to rose gardens, grieve not.
If a flood should arrive, to drown all that’s alive,
Noah is your guide in the typhoon’s eye, grieve not.

This poem symbolizes that with God all things are possible.
