Question

Ananya sat at her desk, surrounded by books from different corners of the world. She was working on a comparative essay about the theme of resilience in "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe and "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini. She noticed how both novels, though set in vastly different contexts—Nigeria and Afghanistan—deal with the struggle to maintain one's values in the face of overwhelming challenges. Okonkwo, in "Things Fall Apart", clings to his traditional Igbo values, resisting colonial changes, while Amir, in "The Kite Runner", grapples with his personal guilt and the need for redemption. Ananya saw a common thread: both characters’ journeys were defined by their fight against change and their quest to find inner peace. She wrote in her notes, "Resilience is not just about standing firm; it's about evolving while staying true to oneself."
