How To Use Reverse Psychology Scorpio Man

The Reluctant Fundamentalist

In Pakistan, in Lahore, the old market of Anarkali, two people talking at a coffee shop. One is Pakistani, the other American. The Pakistan insists on telling his story to the stranger met seemingly by chance, and then began the long monologue that through the 134 pages of the book leads us to know the story of Changez, a brilliant foreign student graduated with honors in economics at Princeton and now become part of a major company Financial in New York. The young man lives his new life with enthusiasm neworkese meets a fragile girl he falls in love and it seems seamlessly integrated into this new reality. The September Eleven towers fall and the first instinct is to Changez to smile in the face of tragedy: it is as if suddenly an ancestral recall pushed him to feel a sense of pride in what they have done the terrorists.
From that moment his life is no longer the same, its Pakistani identity gained importance and relevance, the young man let his beard grow and simultaneously begins to neglect the job. Its decline is inexorable, he loses his job and forced to return at home in the bosom of his family. And we find ourselves at a table with dinner and an American with whom he wants to take back to the hotel along streets suddenly became dark and deserted. Perhaps the American hides a gun under his jacket, the reader is not given to know who he is and what we face in Pakistan, as well as Changez tells us exactly that folds took his life to return home, his monologue stops abruptly.
Mah! The idea of \u200b\u200bthe novel is beautiful, I expected more. Surely this intriguing character who despite impeccable western education can not deny his culture and its origins, it seems that the author cultural differences can never be overcome, but must necessarily be an element of rupture and separation. Unfortunately, the novel has left me with a sense of dissatisfaction with a story that not only do not know how it ends, but it also dealt a bit 'too superficial.
