Willy and Peter,
I agree with both of you that the bone digging was wrong. However it definitely showed how desperate they were because of the Taliban. Willy, I also agree that the book shows that people want more. Another example is Parvana wanted to dig up the bones to make more money even though her family would have been fine anyway.

Emma- I completely agree with you that soccer game was disturbing. But I forgot about the sports laws so I was confused and freaked out at the same time. I also just wanted to punch that Taliban man with the dead hands on the rope right in the face. I also think there about 10% of women in Afghanistan do dress like boys.

Willy,
I agree with you . it was kind of obvious that the father would come back. The auther shoud of made it twisted like you said. i also think that the women in the widow was point less. It was also kind of wierd that she wuold drop things on the blanket. I wonder what will happen to PAravana in the other books.

Evan,
Who is the person you are talking about? If he is the father, he dies in the second book not the first. I agree with you, Ben, and Nick that it is silly that the father dies. I mean, he’s there for five seconds and whoosh he’s dead. Ben, I would hate it if I lived there too. I could die, get shot, or beaten for no reason. In addition, I would be bored because I couldn’t play sports, play video games, or watch TV.

Peter i agree with you the bone digging was wrong. i think the author put that in to show you how extreme people had to go to suvive. i also think that this book shows you that people always want more. Fro example the taliban wanted more so they invaded malzar, parvana wanted more after she got her tray. I think thats why they are wars and other horrible things. I am also willing to bet that the people who got chopped up only did what they did so they could live in the talibans evil riegen

Matt I completely agree, i think that the second half of the book was much better than the first. I also agree with paige though it was disgusting. The part where they choped the other poeple to pieces was cruel. It makes you think i mean deer don’t chop each other to pieces so why should we. It seems like the taloban are out to make peoples lives horrible. I am so glad that i live in america.

It was so obvious that the father would come back. I think the author should have twisted that a little. I also think that there was almost no purpose in the character Homa she was just there to tell Parvana that the Taliban invaded Malzar. She could also be important to though because if she wasn’t there Parvana wouldn’t have known to go to Malzar. One more thing what was with the woman in the window that made no sense at all? Where was the point in putting in a woman who all she did was drop things on to Parvana’s blanket. I bet she will come in later. My last question is will Parvana leave Afghanistan at the end of the series?

Sean,
I agree with you strongly. The book can get confusing at times but I think if you read the sequel it will make more sense. When the Taliban people cut of peoples arms that was gross!

Evan,
I completely agree with you when you say there is too much going on. I to would like to read the sequel and find the answers to my questions. I think if you read the sequel some things will make more sense.
