something, too?
Peter Stockmann. II No, thank you. Good gracious--hot meat at nightl Not with my digestion,
Mrs. Stockmann. Oh, but just once in a way
Peter Stockmann. No, no, my dear tady; I stick to my tea and bread and butter. It is much more wholesome in the long run-
and a little more economical, too.
Mrs. Stockmann (smiting). Now you mustn't think that Thomas and I are spendthrifts.
Peter Stockmann, Not you, my dear, I would never think that of you. (Points to the Doctor's study.) Is he not at home?

explanation:

read the following excerpt from “greece” by oscar wilde.

the sea was sapphire [colored], and the sky

burned like a heated opal through the air;

we hoisted sail; the wind was blowing fair

for the blue lands that to the eastward lie.

which words does the poet include to the reader visualize the scene?

“the sea was sapphire”

“through the air”

“was blowing fair”

“to the eastward lie”

the book's theme is the moral ambiguity of the iranian revolution, history of middle eastern relations and the process of growing up during war. it sheds light on the stereotypical views of middle eastern culture and religion.

the author explicitly portrays the issues of class disparities and racism continously throught the whole novel.

the relationship between parents and childrens, the abandonment of faith, modernity vs fundamentalism and class conflict are the 4 main panels that this novel englobes.
