One important theme that is missing from this selection is the theme of family relationships. In "My Father Writes to My Mother" by Assia Djebar, the narrator reflects on the relationship between her parents, and how it has changed over time. In "The Happy Man" by Naguib Mahfouz, the protagonist is a man who is struggling to maintain a relationship with his family. Finally, in "The Swimming Contest" by Benjamin Tammuz, the protagonist is a young boy who is trying to win a swimming contest in order to gain the approval of his father. All of these stories explore the theme of family relationships in different ways, and this theme is missing from the selection.
