Alright, this is the continuation of that idea. Basically, first sentence. I think we have a few who are in all of it. Start off with a short sentence. Kind of ironic, if you think about through this person, represents on a larger scale. And basically starts off by saying, I fuck tourists. And at least he could then play it off by saying, or at least that's what I saw written on the wall. As I was walking down this street, from street in Egypt. Looking at various political graffiti, perhaps he was looking at a picture of one of the martyrs. And wasn't really paying attention, or wasn't really focusing on the martyr, but saw someone who wrote to Narabic. And thought that was more hilarious than the martyrs. He's going to be a stranger in his own as an heritage country. He's going to be out of place in both places. And ultimately, he decided that he has to determine who he is. He'll see... His reason is that the text includes the sentence from a colonial European Christian tradition. Or is he the Egyptian African Muslim who descends from a tradition of being colonized? The letters will represent what he feels as an exploration of his own self, but through the words of his parents, and through the... through what he either reads between the lines or puts together as he investigates what was really going on during those years if they were writing to each other. There's a lot of opportunities here to talk about politics, to talk about identity, and naturally you know, you should take advantage of that. But there's also an opportunity to talk about how health and how literacy plays a role in the ultimate psychology of the self. So that's very important. So anyway, you can start off focusing on that one scene where he's perhaps can't find his way because he either took the wrong microbus, the traffic is flowing, but he can't find his way. He's forced to walk along a large wall that has... He almost feels like it's as long as the book of the dead or the shipwreck sailor, but he instead sees pictures after pictures, art after art, and interprets his own tale, his self through the images that he sees.
