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 message in conciseness, emphasis and eloquent hint, and leaves an 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 is the narrator, and his 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 given in living scenes, not in direct address.
