3. Never gives up
Usually, hard workers are never giving up in doing something before achieving what they want. As like Mandira, when she lost her son, Sameer, who was
become a victim’s death since the event of 911, she asks for a justice to the government official. Since that tragedy, most immigrants, especially for Muslim
heritage didn’t get a fair justice in some condition. For the example is Mandira, she was really difficult to get a fair justice about the case of her son’s death. The
government official concluded that the case of her son’s death was an accident, not murdered, but Mandira knows that this case is not an accident and ask the justice to
the government. Mandira fights for the justice on her son’s death for 6 months, and then she
decides to seek the justice of that case by herself. All kind of effort has been done by Mandira in order to get some justice from the government. With all the efforts she has
done, finally she knows the murderer of his son. Some sequences above suffice to
show that Mandira is a figure of a woman who never gives up. To reinforce the statement above, look at the dialogue and pictures below.

The dialogues above are taken from some situation showed that Mandira is
not giving up in solving the case of her son’s death. The bold dialogues “I don’t
accept that. There has to be an answer. And if you can’t find it, I will” and “lm looking for any lead on the boys who killed my son. Any information at all, my
number is there. - Okay.” are some of her effort to find a justice by herself. Picture
12 and 13 are also illustrate how spirit herself to solve that case. She made a big billboard labeled “6 months without justice” and also attached Sameer’s image, then
she stands in the middle of square where her son get murdered and seen by many people.
