<p>could it be because the author is trying to make Amal a more important character than Isabel? i don't know. that's what i wrote in my paper, but i don't know if its correct.</p>
<p>I wrote almost nothing about Amal (except for her fight against the totalitarian government of Mubarak) ... Isabel and Omar. Mostly Anna and Sharif.</p>
<p>haha...almost my whole paper was about Amal</p>
