I think that his having unprotected sex and failing to contract HIV was a life threatening situation that was being compared to the life threatening situation that Magid was experiencing in Bangladesh during the earthquake. This section was trying to show how Magid and Millat, as twins, simultaneously experienced life threatening situations, even though they were on opposite sides of the world. 278530@blogcritics.org Sat, 26 Nov 2005 18:53:21 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/06/16/084133.php#comment-71424 Interesting thoughts. 71424@blogcritics.org Sun, 27 Jun 2004 05:40:33 EDT
