"Half A Day" By: Naguib Mahfouz

Half A Day by Naguib Mahfouz is short story that reminisces about the past. He takes us on a trip down memory lane. Mahfouz creates a dynamic that seems dominantly negative. He talks about the corporal punishment that is used in his school setting. It seems as though the main character is deeply confused by his past and wants to break it down. This was an interesting read that definitely took a while to fully comprehend.
