Iwill never total it all now. i will never come in to say: she was a child seldom smiled at. herfatherleft me before she was a year old. i worked her first six years when there was work, or i sent her home and to his relatives. there were years she had careshe hated. she was dark and thin and foreign‐looking in a world where the prestige went to blondness and curly hair and dimples, slow where glibness was prized. she was a child of anxious, not proud, love. we were poor and could not afford for her the soil of easy growth. i was a young mother, i was a distracted mother. there were the other children pushing up, demanding. her younger sister was all that she was not. she did not like me to touch her. she kept too much in herself, her life was such she had to keep too much in herself. my wisdom came too late. she has much in her and probably nothing will come of it. she is a child of her age, of depression, of war, of fear. what theme is being expressed in the description above?

hi there!

one thousand and one nights, also called the arabian nights is a collection of middle eastern tales compiled in arabic during the islamic golden age, dated from the 8th to the 14th century. this collection was compiled of largely middle eastern and indian stories with an uncertain date and autorship whose tales such as aladdin, ali baba and sinbad the sailor -these ones were the most popular ones, the ones that have almost become part of western folklore.

as in much medieval european literature, the stories contained in this collection are set within a frame story. its scene is central asia, as known as "the islands or peninsulae of india and china", where king shahryar kills his wife after discovering her infidelities and as well as any other who betrayed him.   then, loathing all womankind, he marries and kills his new wife each day until no more candidates could have been found. his vizier had two daughters, scheherezade and dunyazad. the elder one -scheherezade- having devised a scheme to save herself and the others insisted that her father needed to give her in marriage to the king. each evening, she used to tell a story leaving it incomplete and promising to finish it the following night. the stories kept the king very interested, so eager to hear evey ending of each story, that he puts off her execution from day to day and finally he decided to give up with his plan. these stories are contained within the collection of 1001 nights, the bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is usually used for songs and riddles to express better the heightened emotion of them.
