There are many historical and fictional characters that have committed civil disobedience, with expectations to make a change in society. Antigone is a self-driven, fictional character who commits civil disobedience in hopes to give her late brother, Polyneices a proper burial. The main civil disobedience act Antigone takes is, defying the king’s law by taking Polyneice’s body into a field and “mounding[ing] it over with a light dust” (1.95). Antigone believed that the proper thing to do was to bury him instead of letting his “body lie in the fields [as] a sweet treasure/for carrion birds” to feast on (prologue. 22-23).

The main conflicting scene which acted as a narrative tool to help the story move on was the rape scene in chapter 7. Amir is finally in realisation of the extent of how cowardly he is “I just watched. Paralyzed.” This being significant as it even the rape consisted of only men which emphasises the inequity of gender in Afghanistan and in this novel. However some would disagree - For Amir's mother Sofia - Even though she was a well-known literature professor, her death almost completely eliminates her influence from Amir's life. Baba never discusses her with Amir, and he doesn’t appreciate the qualities she passed down to her son “That was how I escaped my father's aloofness, in my dead mother's books” this being a disgrace to baba as he wished for a masculine son "Real men didn't read poetry-and God forbid they should ever write it!” this effectively showing baba’s disinterest in Amir as Baba believes a real man is interested in sports.

So we need to disappear racism and then live free and happy, so fight against it and try to disappear it all. Kids need love from their parents. Every kid in the world need love from their parents, not only one of them but both of
