Read this excerpt from paragraph 25. Did the curse worry Balboa? Perhaps a little. He occasionally revisits a
particularly spectacular feat of bloodshed—the time Leoncico tore a
chieftain's head from his shoulders—with a pang of concern.
The author uses the language in this excerpt to -
O foreshadow Balboa's fate
flashback to a significant event in
Balboa's past
imply a supernatural influence on
Balboa's life
O emphasize Balboa's conscience

the underlined phrase is an example of : understatment

the economic activity signified in that scenario is a. production

in general, market production makes reference to the elaboration of a product or service which is destinated for economic purposes (to be sold) at money-price in a market. such product or service has to be principally tradable for money.

there is no money exchange involved in distribution, generalized reciprocity or balanced reciprocity.

the book's theme is the moral ambiguity of the iranian revolution, history of middle eastern relations and the process of growing up during war. it sheds light on the stereotypical views of middle eastern culture and religion.

the author explicitly portrays the issues of class disparities and racism continously throught the whole novel.

the relationship between parents and childrens, the abandonment of faith, modernity vs fundamentalism and class conflict are the 4 main panels that this novel englobes.

hope this , if you would like me to be more specific about a specific excerpt let me know : )
