My favourite Quote

My favourite
Character is...
Karim
My favourite
Character is...
He is intelligent, polite and mature. In the novel Karim was called a "perfect young man," when in reality he is full of flaws just like everyone else; that is what made me like Karim's character.
The most exciting part of the story
The most exciting part of the story is when they act as if they are related to Antoine Milad to be able to cross the enemy's territory; they succeeded into crossing and leave unharmed without arousing the fact that they are not Christian.
