Thuan+Chapter+11+and+12

1. Why was Parvana's mother so against Parvana digging up bones? What specific arguments did the family make for Parvana to continue digging?

2. Why have Parvana and Nooria stopped fighting?

3. Why do the Taliban make such a big show out of punishing thieves?

4. If Shauzia leaves Afghanistan there will be no one left to take care of her family. If you were in her situation would you make the same choice as her? Why or why not.

5. Parvana's family could have left Afghanistan when the Taliban first took over. Why do you think they chose to stay?

1.Parvana's mother is against Parvana digging up bones because she's scared of Parvana stepping on a land mine because you don't know where they are and you can step on one by accident.

2.They stopped fighting because Nooria feels cherish because Parvana is the one who's getting the money and doing the work and Nooria appreciates that.

3.They made a big show about punishing thieves because they want to show what they will do if someone steals.

4.If I was in her situation I would leave because I think that living somewhere else that there are no killing is better then living in a place where people fight and kill each other. Your family can't stop you from doing a choice that will change your life.

5.I think they stayed because they love the place and where they were born.
