Indecisive

After finishing the book, "The Submission" by Amy Waldman, I felt very indifferent. Good and bad. Right and wrong. These juxtaposing feelings left me at the end of the novel. After Mohammad Khan's grueling fight for justice and equality, he gave in. Khan had given up his life to show the nation that he should build the memorial for the September 11th attacks. Residing in hotels, disconnecting his phone, and barely showing up for work, all for the contest. But in the end, was it all worth it? He dropped out of the contest, gave up his fight. To prove what? A innocent Muslim American women died for the fight. Mohammad could not walk down the street without starting an argument with a pedestrian against his design. And he gave up. But, twenty years later, Khan lives as a successful business man. Owning his own firm, designing buildings for major individuals. Good and bad. Right and wrong. He should have won. He should have fought. But at what cost? These numerous questions raced in my head afer finishing the novel. I'm indecisive.
