"Thousand splendid Suns" The passage is about the contrasting
lifestyles of women in Kabul, specifically focusing on the differences
between the women of the poorer neighborhoods and the more modern,
affluent women of the city. The author uses the character of Mariam, who is
new to the city and unfamiliar with its customs, to highlight these
differences. Mariam's initial experience with the burqa and her observations
of the women in the park and the kebab house reveal her unfamiliarity with
the city's social norms. The passage then contrasts these experiences with
her observations of the modern women of Kabul, who are described as
confident, independent, and stylish. This contrast highlights the social and
