The effects of heat on poor people HW Reading
I think it's titled this because this piece he's writing relates to his life. In this story the area he lives in isn't rain and is very hot. People around him are dying because of the intense heat which can cause them to die. He wants to bring awakes to things and change this. The couple Kamil and Saba are a low middle class people that was in a forced marriage, and they didn't have a good relationship. They could barley hold a conversation and had little in common. Eventually Saba get pregnant but hasn't told him yet. She doesn't want to continue this relationship after he hit her and dreams of living alone with her child. This marriage does nit seem to really have any love in it. They barley care for one another and seem more like roommates. I don't think she final realizes the love she has for him instill she loses him.

It's true that Kamil is writing an article titled "The Effects of Heat on Poor People," but he seems to be writing about others--the poor-poor. But they don't have A/C either so that makes them "poor" too, just not as poor as the people he's writing about. This seems to be one of the points of the story: That in a poor country, a profession like journalism that would make someone middle class in the US, still can't lift someone out of certain kinds of poverty.
