Read this excerpt from "the prediction." his mood darkened, and he felt dismissed. he felt like all the eyes in the room danced around him. how does this detail best support the theme that people fulfill their own predictions? it suggests that the crowd is not welcoming an outsider. it proves that the narrator is working hard to succeed. it shows that the narrator is creating his own negativity. it reveals the narrator’s fear of the dark.

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.

hope this , if you would like me to be more specific about a specific excerpt let me know : )
