2. Why did Parvanna’s father specifically ask her to take care of the rest of the family? Use evidence from the text to support your answer.

I think Parvanna's father asked Parvanna to take care of the rest of the family because Parvanna was the girl who helped her father sell items at the market and knows more about the market more then her other siblings and also Parvanna can go outside.

I also think that Parvanna's father asked Parvanna to take of the rest of the family because she was the only person from her siblings that went outside and also Parvanna was the one who helped her father at the market and also helped out at their home too.

3. How will Parvanna’s family deal with the loss of her father? Explain your thinking.

I think Parvanna's family will deal with the loss of her father by sending Parvanna to the market to shop and sell like her father and also taking the part of her father. The mother might turn Parvanna to a boy because in the text it said that boys were only aloud to go outside. Thats why most boys/mens go to the market to sell or shop for their family.

I also think that they will do nothing because the are really sad to do anything.
