ESSAY ON: Khedairi/Sky So Close

Number of Pages 8

This research paper: An 8 page essay that discusses the major themes and writing style of Iraqi novelist Betool Khedairi in her novel Sky So Close. In everyday life, most people do not generally consider the impact of the political on their lives. However, for the Iraqi girl who is the protagonist of Betool Khedairi's coming-of-age story A Sky So Close, the political is an omnipresent factor that impacts her life on numerous levels. For example, a prominent theme in the novel is the tension between the young protagonist's Iraqi father and British mother, which mirrors the conflict between her Iraqi homeland and the West. As this primary conflict suggests there is much in this novel that is metaphorical, so that the author is able to convey meaning on multiple levels. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
