Explanation:

Walt Whitman (1819-1892) was an American poet and writer, famous for his contribution to both transcendentalism and realism. His poetry collection, Leaves of Grass (1855), expresses his love of America and all its people. This is primarily seen in his poem "I Hear America Singing", in which the speaker listens to the songs of all the American people of different professions - the carpenter, the boatman, the mother, wife, the girl, etc. The poem celebrates the achievements of the American people, and the way they influence the culture of this country.

Similarly, in his poem "I, Too", Hughes states that he, too, can "sing America", which many interpret as a response to the above-mentioned Whitman's poem. The theme of patriotism is largely present in Hughes' poem, too. Although he defines himself as a "darker brother" ( as an African American), he celebrates American culture and all its diversity.

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.
