The Mosque

           The technical diary part of the book shows Ghada's slow descent into emotional depression. It is a sad part indeed when she is walking around and finding that everything she had grown up with was either gone or ruins. one of the saddest parts is when she see the mosque in the middle of the square(pg-435). When I was reading that part I thought the mosque was Palestine and all the high-rises were Israel. The mosque is empty and forgotten by most of the people who used to go there, and neglected by those who live near there, though the high-rises immediately catch your attention and make you go "wow!" The wall that separates Israel from Palestinian settlements is directly showing that the Israeli's do not even want to look at Palestine. They main part of the third section is about the feelings but it has other elements as well.
