Essay Topics

Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

Darius repeatedly notes Stephen’s prototypically or stereotypically Germanic persona. What might be the purpose of calling attention to it? What in the novel suggests as much? How does it make the suggestion?

Essay Topic 2

Darius muses that “she [Fariba] and Babou were seated in the very front, the binary suns of the Bahrami family solar system” (174). Explicate the metaphor (e.g, what are its tenor and vehicle, what does it imply about those encompassed by it, where does it fail?).

Essay Topic 3

At the end of “Chelo Kabob,” Stephen appears to reach an accord with his father- and brothers-in-law during a conversation about grilling (261). Why would the topic serve such a function? What in the novel and in experience indicates as much? How does it do so?
