If Kite runner is about struggling in escape and redemption, A Thousand Splendid Suns is about searching for the light of hope in the darkness of despair. Although this is a tragedy, there is still a bright and hopeful ending, that is, after all the pain and suffering, people can see the value of life. The courage and belief in the future silently conveyed in the novel just like what Mizal Muhammad wrote on his way home: People can't count how many bright moons there above her roof, neither can't they count the thousand splendid suns behind her walls.

ART & DESIGN

In the field of contemporary information and entertainment mass media, comic strips, movies, and television all use images as media. Therefore, images are more specific and vivid than text media in reflecting reality and creating fantasy and easier for people to accept, promoting the development of "Reading Pictures" era.

In China, the generation of teenagers who grew up in the era of reform and opening-up formed their own cognition, thinking, and reading modes from the information age, and they have a natural affinity and sense of identity for comic strips characterized by images. They use comic strips to record and convey their lives. Our summer art assignment allows students to create comic strips (pictures & texts) with the theme of "My summer holiday", and let us appreciate their interesting holiday life together~
