This trend contributed to a widening gap between the richest and most educated 10% of the population and the 90% of the people who were poor and uneducated. This disparity occurred all across the country but was most pronounced in large cities such as Tehran, Shiraz, Esfahan, Abadan and other large provincial cities. The

Ghodrat's death at the hands of the large police force. He implores the police chief to allow him to enter the house in order to persuade Ghodrat to surrender. Feeling responsible for the danger in which his friend is now involved, Ghodrat beseeches Rasool not to intervene and to go away before he is hurt. However, Rasool chooses to remain with Ghodrat.

Ghodrat tries to talk him out of his current state of mind, Rasool responds angrily by saying that being a thief is no better than being a drug addict. In full denial, he thinks that Ghodrat has no right to lecture him about life as "Ghodrat is a thief and doing things against the law."

Ghodrat also witnesses how deeply rooted poverty and a lack of basic education affect the daily life of every neighbour in the area. He and Rasool continue to have more meaningful discussions about life, education and opportunity, but no conclusion is really achieved. They are both so sorry about how
