The essay question is on the book "a thousand splendid sun's"

hey :) i'm new to essay forum and i am wondering if someone could possibly give me some ideas to how to answer an essay question.

The essay question is on the book a thousand splendid sun's. i have read the book and researched the topic but i am still struggling.

right the question is "choose a novel which is set during a period of social or political change, discuss how important the writer evocation of the period is to your appreciation of the text as a whole."

I also have to use appropriate techniques to answer my essay question. such as theme, central concerns, narrative technique, characterization and setting.

please could you help as soon as possible as my essay is due in soon. thanks :)

I LOVE THIS BOOK OMG... OK

in the book Afghanistan was a country were everyone wanted to live. they had endless freedom, great historical monuments and had amazing history. if you read the book lalih's father use to say "this is a great time for women" and this is repeated throughout the book but since the talaban came about and changed the political and social norms . the talaban used Islam to try to justify what THEY wanted which some are

women cant go to school
women must cover fully
man must grow their beard
must go and pray and ect ( the talaban made it a must when in Islam it is optional )

her father points out how enriching women were in the Afgh society and how important it was for women to have their education.

its such an amazing story but it made me so frustrated because people want to have power so they use religion to gain it.
i hope i answered your question. reply back to me if i did not.
good luck
