The second half of I Love I Hate I Miss My Sister seems absolutely ethically immoral. In the U.S. there is freedom of religion, we have the right to express ourselves as we please, especially if it is included into the religion someone practices. While I'm not sure what the laws were in France for expressing of religion, Sophane gets expelled from school for wearing a jihab. This is completely discrimination based off of how someone looks. Even though Sophane is allowed back in school, she decided not to go, but who would blame her?
Djelila has a successful basketball game and decided to go and celebrate after with her friends. Djelila is more of a partier so it's no surprise that she comes back home drunk to Sophane waiting for her. While she is drunk, she goes up to one of the neighborhood gang members, Majid, who slapped Djelila in the face, and slaps him across the face because of what he did to her. This event is what leads to the murder of Djelila done by Majid. The rest of the book talks about Sophane dealing with her sister's death where it finishes off at her sisters memorial, where Sophane wears a jihab.
Woah, was not expecting this from a book about sisters.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really intense. I guess it just shows the sadness of extreme actions. Wow
