In a part of the book, a woman with red hair reads:
We overthrew each other in silence for a while. I felt angry that he might really be my son. It was nice to have a boy with a fighting personality, but I was afraid I would get angry now that we are at the well.

“Wealthy European Turks defend their secularism under the pretext of ‘What do you have to do with my relationship with God?’ “In the name of modernity.” “What problem do you have with modern people?”

“Indeed, I have no problem with anyone or anything,” he said calmly. Because I want to be myself, I am not involved in opposition to the right, left, religious and modern, and I do not go among people, I only write poetry for myself. Just a few minutes ago, my doorbell rang. “Because I was reciting poetry, I did not open the door.”

I did not understand exactly what he was saying, but I thought that arguing from the heart of the books would reduce the young man’s anger. I simply asked, “Do you think modernism is a bad thing?” “Modern man means someone who gets lost in the city forest, and that means being left without a father. Seeking a father is also futile. If a person is modern, he will not find his father in the hustle and bustle of the city; if he does, he will lose his individuality this time. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the French inventor of modernism, who knew this well, consciously left his four children to modernize and did not father them. Rousseau did not even worry about his children, he did not even visit them once. Did you leave me to become modern? “If that’s the case, you’s right.”
