3 quotes from the book
(Page 53) Parvana: "Don't tell me, tell mother. She's the grown up, she can get us water."
This quote was very surprising, the fact that Parvana was so annoyed and angry that she didn't want to get water to support her family was a very different Parvana from the start of the book. She was being selfish and rude, which i didn't enjoy. She's usually more uplifting and supportive to the family, but in this case she wasn't.
(Page 65) Mother: "As a boy, you'll be able to move in and out of the market, buy what we need, and no one will stop you."
I feel that this quote brings hope back, the family had been feeling so down and sad as of fathers arrest. Parvana being able to go out to the market, grab various types of food and return home is terrific for the family as they all needed it.
(Page 95) Parvana: "Sorry, I thought you were my father."
At this part in the book, Pavana notices a man that looks similar to her father inside the market. She runs up to him squeezing through many people but realizes it isn't her father. This scene was very saddening as she had been enlightened by the fact she had found her father, but it was not. Her hope is ripped away from her as she sadly walks off back to her table at the market.
