Mahfouz exemplifies to his audience the way Amina feels towards her men in the family. The very structure of the way he states "This moment was one of the happiest of the mothers days", it shows that she has a good soul and that just to see her men walk out proud into the streets gives her the utmost joy. excellent example of ethos as well.

Ahmad and Children

Naguib Mahfouz shows the audience how much care Ahmad has for his children when on page 12 he writes " making no distinction between the eldest and the youngest". This small paragraph stood out to me because it gives the audience a perspective of how Ahmad views his children. This section prepares the audience for the one meal when the males all eat together: breakfast. The reading gives a warning to what is about to occur in the book. It gives us, the audience, a sense of what level of importance Ahmad gives to his children.
