"It's just a routine check"

Well. That's reassuring. Some superficiality from the government is inevitable. I mean, they're a great huge group of adults who's job it is to tell people what to do,create rules, and devise suitable punishment for people who break the rules. There's a fair amount of potential for people walking around like they've got something stuck... someplace uncomfortable. But just...really? There's just so many intriguing little angles and POV's (Point Of View) to look at. This chapter is like a sponge left in the sink- just soaked. Soaked in drama. I'm going to take a look at some characters other then Aisha and Nadira, just for clicks and whistles. Let's start with Uncle. As far as i'm concerned, Uncle is a pessimistic tradionalist, ergo, he's screwed. When the immigration officers showed up, rather then recognizing that since he can bearly speak English and Taslima is close to fluent, he ought to let her talk, he just can't get past the fact that his child, worse, his daughter, a female, is speaking in his stead. This line of thought then leads us to Taslima, and by association, Tim. I think their intentions are good- i see no evil plots on his part. (le gasp) Honestly, i think they're no more then a couple of hotheads. They've got good intentions, methods of questionable effectiveness, but are essentially harmless.
