Rushdie

I think that rushdie was a very creative author when it came to writing and composing his literature. Although he may have a price on his head for what the government thinks was "satanic verses" i think in all honesty it was just his opinions of how he saw the world, and i think that they went a little overkill by putting a price on his head. However, i know that the country he comes from does not have the same ideals as we do such as free speech, so they aren't doing anything wrong. Personally, i think that the people have no sense of humor or any concept of satire.

When rushdie wrote Haroun, i think he basically mirrored the world he lived in and try to show the humor and seriousness in the whole story. I did have a hard time following the story, even though i'm a huge fan of fantasy stories, this one was way over my head to try to follow.
