Please What d you think of writing style?

Many years passed and no one was courageous enough to change the world of corruption and adultery. All of them were afraid of Nahar. They used to avoid encountering him.Nahar kept his habit of torturing his wives or his slaves, who used to execute his orders. He used to treat them in a very bad way. They had no right except the right of eating, drinking, and sleeping in a very bad condition. He did not used to take them out to visit relatives and change the air, and he rarely bought them clothes. His excessive cruelty was clearly showed when they forgot to do something that he had already asked for. He did not use to put up with them when they make mistakes .Oneday, he received many guests during the period of local elections, and while taking their dinner, he discovered that the food was a bit salty. The moment his guests left, he imprisoned his wives three days successively in a chamber that was full of mice and different insects. He imprisoned them without food and without water. No one could interfere with his tyranic punishment, he was an animal in man’s body.

His wives were not jealous of each other, In fact, the most horrible thing for a wife is to share her husband with another wife.But Saida and Hanae were friends because of their shared sufferings. Nahar was not a husband, for them, he was just their soul destroyer. They used to ask God night and day to punish him severely. There was no control over Nahar, he used to do what he liked in that region. It was his realm.

Nahar had married three wires before , then he divorced them after taking out their virginity. One of these wives was divorced during the period of pregnancy and he had never asked about his child. His heart was made of stone. He had many children and all of them were his slaves,and because they were so many, he did not use to remember their names , he used to call them with different names that were not theirs.Nahar was a foe for his children, for his wives and many persons in the region .no one used to love him except Halima because she was like him.

In a society like this one, woman had no value without her husband or her adult male children. She was totally dominated by man. She used to play the role of the servant, the mother, the passive wife who should accept things dogmatically from her husband. She used to lack the right to defend herself. She was totally under the control of man.

Halima was not hated by the women of the region. They used to consider her the most courageous woman that took revenge on the husband when she was given an opportunity. She was revolutionary against the norms of society. In fact, many women used to cheat their husbands. Many women used to sleep with the friends of their husbands. They used to do so because their husbands were not faithful and they did not use to satisfy their sexual desires, they were selfish even in their sexual relations with their wives.

In a world of hypocrisy like this one, when men commits adultery, this is regarded as a sign of manhood, and when woman does so ,she is punished severely and she is considered as a cheap, unfaithful, and bad woman. The notion of unfaithfulness and badness is associated only with woman and not with man. It is unfair to punish only women, whereas man is the punisher. Men should understand that adultery is somthing shared between man and woman, that’s why they should undergo the same punishment.

Sex, money and power were the main interests of all the local people. They did not use to differentiate between what is correct and what is not, for them everything is possible to achieve their vicious dreams, whereas justice, honour, and dignity were just abstract notions for them that could live only in books of prose and poetry and not in reality.

The mayor of the region, Nahar, who was supposed to give the image of the good man, was the one who used to encourage corruption at all levels. Nahar used to impose his rules on the locals. The region was his own realm, the people were his slaves, and justice was like a battle that is lost before it started.

    You need to learn the art of paragraphs

    Paragraphs aren't decoration, you know. Throw them in more often.

    Add more power to your sentences, more emphasis. Don't cut them short, nobody likes reading a book with butchered sentences. It makes reading harder and imagining even worse.

    Don't tell us how terrible he is. Show us. Describe what he does to his slaves, don't just say it and leave it be.

    If English isn't your mother tongue you MUST read all your literature in English if you want to develop an enjoyable style. Take it from me, I'm Bulgarian.

    She,she,she,she,she. Stop repeating it, stop starting every sentence with it. You have to vary the sentence structures.

    She sat up and stared. That's what you use.

    This is what you can substitute it with:

    Sitting up, she stared.

    Staring, she sat up.

    Confused, she sat up.

    You get my point I hope.

    You repeat over and over how people are his slaves.... We got it.

    Adding power happens with less words and describing, longer sentences and different words. Metaphors must be more abstract than "like a battle lost before its start", I'm sure you can think up something better than that.

    I cannot help you more and even if I do give you more tips you wouldn't understand me. You have to read more literature in English and then you will see what's wrong with yours.

    English has two variations, if not official. One is Literary and the other one is Everyday. When attempting to write literature with everyday English things come out difficult to read and impossible to get hooked on.

  • It's Great

    but i kinda disagree with the character's name '' Nahar ''

    Nahar is a well known word, specially in arabic, it means '' Morning ''.

    imagine your name was morning ...

    but other than that, it's perfect, the story is original.

    ps : you gotta work a little bit more on paragraphs

    I love the concept, but it sounds as though you're basically writing a recount on it.
