Everyone has experienced that sense of being away from home, then coming back to it and feeling like nothing has changed, like it's been waiting for you the whole time. What you said about this relating back to colonialism makes sense. It's making me wonder though if the tragedies of Mustafa's life can really be blamed on this though. Looking back, it wasn't going to England and becoming Westernized that made Mustafa so cold and unfeeling. From the beginning he lacked normal human emotions as can be seen in his relationship with his mother. So I'm a little confused as to where all that comes from, but I definitely agree there is a colonial influence.Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05238507702348570633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755011300751291055.post-89976402264287968412011-11-21T20:09:26.498-08:002011-11-21T20:09:26.498-08:00Also consider does any place truly ever stay the s...Also consider does any place truly ever stay the same?
