1. Compare and contrast the representation of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam in both texts (World Religions and Children of the Alley. How is this representation affected by the genre of each (historical versus fictional)?
2. Children of the Alley explores many aspects of humanity and discusses many themes. What do you think is the most important theme/message the author wants to convey from this epic novel? State your reasons.
3. Like the Quran, Children of the Alley also has 114 chapters. Do you think that Mahfouzs intention is to parody the sacred text? what would be the implications of such a parody?
