In chapter 5 Said begins to gather the tools needed for him to carry out his task. We are introduced to Tarzan, in the setting of a cafe, who is displayed as an old friend of Said. He receives a revolver for free from Tarzan by simply asking for one. This then indicates that Tarzan is a trusted friend of his that will most likely re-appear throughout the novel. We are also then introduced to Nur, who claims she can help him acquire a car. At this point we are not sure as to how they will do this, but it can also be assumed that Nur is a trusted character that will play a significant role in Said’s endeavors. This chapter does not contain any major developments, as it is simply the set-up for the events that occur in the following chapters
