A Thousand Splendid Suns

Pg 7. Nana said "Learn this now and learn it well,my daughter like a compass points north, a mans accusing finger always finds a woman you remember that, Mariam"

The connection that I personally make to this quote and the outside world isn't a strong one however its personal. It happened the other day in the common area when i just came back from Starbucks and put my coffee on the table. I turned my back for a split second and Kayne was running away. I turned back and my coffee was everywhere and right then who decides to come from his office but Mr. Shimmer, "Tiara is this your Starbucks?" I said "Yes..But". As Kayne slowly came back in and said it was my fault for putting it there and i should clean it up ( Taking no responsibility). In the end of it all the janitor ended cleaning it up but I was told if this happened again that i should be getting the janitor sooner then later.

I made this connection to the quote because " A mans accusing finger always finds a woman" . Just like Kayne blamed me for him knocking over the coffee and Shimmer holding me responsible.

August Rush

August Rush is a movie that I didn’t want to end. It begins with two younger people falling in love but the father preventing it from becoming more then just a relationship. Keri Rusell who plays Lyla Novacek in the story gets in a accident and ends up in the hospital with her father by her side.Lyla was pregnant before the accident and when she awoke her father bared the news of her losing the baby. When he actually gave it up for adoption and forged her signature. Lyla went on with her life with this since of emptiness with in and no longer speaking to Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Louis Connely. Her father begins to get really sick and finally tells her before he passes that she had a baby and he had given it up for adoption ten years earlier will she was having an operation for the accident. When this began to happen the story became more intense then I personally thought it would. and I could see the people around me feeling the same way literally everyone was on the edge of there seats with tissues in there hands and tears in there eyes. This movie is something I recommend if you’re looking for a tear jerker with a fairy tail ending.
