Re: A Pakistani Girl
True that. Absolutely true.
As for the blog:
it was meant to create a certain kind of reaction. With an emotional touch.
Many Girls/women unfortunately do have a lot of social problems just like men and not only in Pakistan but outside Pakistan.
its just that the set of problems maybe different based on many variables not just based on differences of sexes.
The title: " A Pakistani Girl" is essentially a generalized statement.
its like saying " An American Girl" " A British Boy" and writing something unusual (read carefully please I said “unusual”) story to use it as a showcase. Hope this point is clear somewhat.
if it was written as " One Pakistani Girl" then it would have somewhat of less generalized but then it would not only look too realistic and… it would have lost the intended reaction altogether.
Now the blog writer would have been fine if he/she had written " Story of A Girl". A specific girl.
And the message would have been less dramatic but still effective.
Please carry on.
