This page delves deeper into the mental and societal oppression faced by the characters in both novels. Is reading Wuthering Heights tough? The complexity of Catherine's mental repression in Wuthering Heights is contrasted with the direct oppression faced by Mariam in A Thousand Splendid Suns.
Example: The burqa in A Thousand Splendid Suns symbolizes oppression, described as "tight and heavy like a skull."
The page explores how both characters deal with manipulation and loss of identity. Heathcliff's famous quote "I am Heathcliff" is juxtaposed with Mariam's silent suffering and eventual rebellion.
Quote: "If all else perished and he remained, I should still continue to be."
The narrative voice in both novels is also discussed. Wuthering Heights was published under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, while A Thousand Splendid Suns offers a more direct narrative approach.
Highlight: The theme of sisterhood in A Thousand Splendid Suns opposes the angst-ridden relationships in Wuthering Heights.
This page provides a rich comparative analysis of Heathcliff and Mariam's characters, exploring how they navigate their respective oppressive environments.
The final page examines the use of symbolism and the portrayal of violence in both novels. Why should students read A Thousand Splendid Suns? The novel's powerful use of symbolism, such as water representing purity amidst destruction, offers a compelling reason.
Example: "Rockets began to rain on Kabul" - This metaphor in A Thousand Splendid Suns combines the imagery of rain (usually associated with life) with destruction.
The page contrasts the naturalistic instincts and transgression of human law in Wuthering Heights with the more explicit violence in A Thousand Splendid Suns.
Quote: "His sweat on the girl's skin" - This disturbing description of Mariam's rape highlights the brutal reality of her situation.
The comparison between the two novels continues with an examination of how violence is portrayed. Wuthering Heights presents violence as a transgression of human law driven by naturalistic instincts, while A Thousand Splendid Suns depicts violence as a tool of oppression and control.
This page concludes the comparative analysis of Heathcliff and Mariam's characters, demonstrating how both novels use symbolism and violence to explore themes of power, control, and human nature. The narrative voice in A Thousand Splendid Suns is shown to be more direct in its portrayal of violence, while Wuthering Heights uses more symbolic and psychological forms of aggression.

What are the differences between A Thousand Splendid Suns and Wuthering Heights? This page explores the contrasts between Heathcliff and Mariam, two central characters from these novels. Heathcliff, an outsider with no surname, is influenced by Catherine and surrounded by an enigmatic aura. Mariam, on the other hand, is labeled a "harami" or illegitimate child, whose only sin is being born.
Highlight: Both characters struggle with identity issues, but their responses differ. Heathcliff takes pride in his uniqueness, while Mariam longs for love and acceptance.
The page also touches on the themes of love and identity in both novels. In Wuthering Heights, love is portrayed as a 19th-century concept of companionship, while in A Thousand Splendid Suns, it's more about survival and acceptance.
Vocabulary: Harami - An illegitimate child or a bastard in Afghan culture.
Quote: "Your name, Mariam, means 'the little flower.' Mariam jo. It was the name of the tuberose that Jalil's mother loved best."
This comparison provides insight into the characters' upbringing and their struggle for identity and love, setting the stage for a deeper comparative analysis of Heathcliff and Mariam's characters.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend
