Who is Colonel Race, why is he on the boat beginning at Abu Simbel, and what is his relationship to Hercule Poirot like? 

Colonel Race had been seen by Hercule Poirot in London a year before. They had been guests at a weird dinner party, one that had ended in death for the eccentric man who had hosted it. Race was a man of unannounced comings and goings, as Poirot knew. He was frequently seen in one of the Empire’s outposts where danger was brewing.Colonel race was seeking murder among the pessanger on the board, he was looking for the man who has committed five or six cold-blooded murders. He’s one of the most astute hired agitators in history and it was reported that the person was on this board.

I like the first chapter, the veil, because of how suddenly life changed for a little girl and how she tried to overcome that situation when islamic revolution started and a Little girl named Majane  didn’t know what a veil was, and they forced her to put it in her schools . She studied before a French non-religious school where all kids sat together and all were treated the same boys and girls but in this new school of hers was not co education .Her upbring was different then others because her parents were muslim but very modern no restriction in the home. Thats why  her parents were protesting against new the shah’s regime and likewise encourage Marjane to speak her mind even when her ideas fall outside the accepted political and social norm.She wants to be a prophet and night time she see God come to her night and she discuss everything to the God.When teacher get to know in the class marjane thoughts that she want to be  a prophet she call her parents but they didn’t embarrassed or concerned about it .After that marine realized that its saver to don’t tell anyone what your thoughts are so she kept quiet . She saw her mother was very scared when her photo came in newspaper protecting against veil that no one will understand her . she was afraid for her life that islamic regime will identify her and she will get punished so she change her hair color and wear black glasses for a long time .That’s why marjane learn the lesson to kept her thoughts saver and don’t share with anyone.

After reading the story “To Build a Fire” i feel really bad for the young man who put his life in danger by not relaxing it can cause his death. He seems selfish and overconfident  to walk in a trial of yukon in that cold weather without having all the equipment , no sensible person can walk alone in that cold weather .It seems like on a cold gray morning everything was covered in snow . That gray and white color seems to be a sign of danger. Even though he didn’t care about his dog who was his only companion in that trial, he wanted to kill him to get some heat.he also put his dog life when he told him to walk on the path and check if the ice breaks or not and poor dog fell in ice water. He put his dog’s life in danger .

The wind sound and snowfall sound make that senene more scary and terrifying .There was no sign of creature near him all lands were covered with snow and when he started feeling that he is not able feel his body that time he realized that was not good decision walking alone without any companion but it was too late.
