The once naïve girl now has the idea of death settle upon her; she absorbs the new reality that she has suddenly been immersed in and the magnitude of current events settles in. When it comes to the reader, this is a time in which it becomes clear that Laila is a no longer a girl, she is now a young lady, and her days of ignorance have come to a close, as she now has come to fathom many of the depressing realities of the real world. Giti’s death is the first of many unfortunate events that make up the unraveling of Lalia’s life. The quote in the example is a metaphor for the next years of her life, as everything she cares for seems to disintegrate. The fibers, or strings in the figurative rope represent the people in Lalia’s life and her connections to her hometown. As she thinks the rope is snapping, her love, Tariq, is telling her that he’s leavening. Tariq was one of the most important and treasured people in her life, whom she has grown up with and fallen in love with. The reason Hossieni chose metaphor to show this transition is because how this line in its self radiates character
