Reading Response to Ali and Nino Essay

The most evident and reoccurring theme that I noticed in Kurban Saids, Ali and Nino was the magnificence of religion and cultural backgrounds. In many different places in the story it is evident that Ali and Nino have been taught some completely different things about the world in general. The first major example that I found is when Ali speaks with his father and Ninos father about marrying Nino. Although they are both somewhat supportive of the marriage, they both blame completely opposite messages.Alis father tells him that the love for Nino is not necessary and that if he wants Ali can still marry up to three more wives. distant to Alis fathers belief, Ninos father feels very differently. He feels that he must show unconditional love and treat her with the dignity and respect that she deserves. He likewise feels that he should focus all her energy and love on her rather than having any other wives. If Ninos father doubts Alis for his daughter, maybe that is part of the prime r why he tried to postpone the wedding.The second example I found is when Nino tells Ali he absolutely can not have a serail because it is considered a disgraceful tradition of Alis background to Nino and her family. Ali agrees that he will not have a Harem and then the question of whether or not Nino will have to wear a veil. After a bit of deliberation between Ali and Nino, they were still unable to reach a conclusion to whether or not Nino would have to wear a veil. Nino does not understand why a women must wear a veil whereas Ali feels that it is very important that the women does so that Nino will be protected from strangers looks.Although Ali and Nino are very much in love there are very many cultural differences and misunderstandings that make this repose religion/faith marriage a bit more complicated. This idea of religious differences and cultural misunderstandings really hits home for me. As a Jewish adult, it has always been very important to me to marry someone of the same faith and belief system. As I have grown up I do think that the most important thing is being happy and that being accepting of all peoples determine and morals is very much important.Out of personal experience, I have two recountings that both decided to marry out of the Jewish faith. Neither of these marriages have worked out very well in regards to my family. The first relative of mine ended up getting divorced and is now going through with(predicate) a custody battle for his children. The other relative is still marital to his wife but does not talk to anyone on our side of the family due to many reasons but mostly because she was not willing to support his Jewish indistinguishability and background. It is ignorant in my opinion to think that inter faith marriages can never work out, because a lot of them do.But in my experiences with my family they have not. unheeding if people can make them work, it is definitely harder than marrying someone with the same faith as y ou. With religion comes a system of ideals, morals and beliefs and if someone has those same values as you do, there will be less cultural misunderstandings and cleavages than if you married someone with different values than you. So the whole idea of cultural differences through religion complicating thing relates both very closely to my life in terms of my family and Kurban Saids Ali and Nino.
