Terrorist 200 pages in
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
A lot has happened in the past 100 pages. There has been a lot of focus on outside characters, hints that there will definitely be more emphasis on them later in the story. Ahmad gets his job as a truck driver and makes his first delivery, where he ends up finding out some very strange things.
The biggest emphasis in this portion of the book is on religion and personal beliefs. So far, Ahmad has spoken out loud probably less than 100 words. Everything he says is without much emotion and is always somehow related to his religion, Islam. The reader follows Ahmad as he makes little disapproving comments about how people are living. His ways of thinking are so definitive and he allows no room for mistakes or exceptions. Ahmad also disapproves of his mother, but she knows nothing.
Ahmad’s truck driver teacher, Charlie, brings up very ominous and foreshadowing elements near the end of 2/3 of the book. He talks about how true believes in the Qu’ran will “take action” so that something can be done to help out the people in their home countries that are starving. He also talks about people planting seeds for action. All of this is very mysterious, and even Ahmad is overwhelmed with information. I can only guess that something very significant is going to happen soon.
