09Ninth: the traits of the short story in this text
Tightness of build: limited characters, expression at the utmost of conciseness, and every phrase carrying a sense.
The title in two words, "The Church Lit Up", carries the writer's messagein conciseness, emphasis and eloquent hint, and leavesan impression of emotional sharing in Ramadan.
Compression (takthif): senses follow one another expressing the Egyptian character and its customs and traditions that gather Egyptians regardless of any consideration.
Limited characters and events: the main mover isthe narrator, andhis friend appears only at the end.
A realistic language close to the language of life: the alley, the metal sheet, the sitting on the bank.
The irony between past and present in the ending.
The indirect message: national unity is givenin living scenes, not in direct address.
