Rasheed is becoming more and more excluded from Mairam."He didn't look at her...These days, he never did anymore, and Mariam wasn't even sure if she was being spoken to...With each dissapointment, Rasheed had grown more remote and resentful...no matter how thoroughly she submitted to his wants and demands, it wasn't enough...seven times she had failed him-and now she was nothing but a burden to him." Rbasheed: "Now you know what you've given me in this marriage. Bad food, and nothing else."
Laila talks about how her mom favors her sons and how she isn't loved much by her, but in the chapter where Laila is born it describes her as being very beautiful with stunningly blonde hair I thought she'd be the favored one because of her "high quality" looks. When Laila is sitting at her mother's door knocking but she never answers it is saying how her mother wont let anyone in her life anymore. But Laila ends up just walking in. "She would tap on it nad whisper Mammy's name over and over, like a magic chant meant to beak the spell...but Mammy never opened the door. She didn't open it now. Laila turned the knob and walked in." That shows that Laila is going to make herself be a part of her mom's life. Her Mother may not want anyone around but Laila will always be there.
