1. Pavana's mom was so against digging up bones because she was worried about Parvana because if there are dead bodies there must have been a war there so Parvana's mom was worried about her stepping on a land mine. Nooria for the first time took Parvana's side and said we need Parvana to do this job because she is still making more money than her other job.

2. Parvana and Nooria stopped fighting because now they actually get to go outside together as a family so there not all so stressed out from just staying home all day with such a small home so there's not a lot of stress because now That Parvana's a boy she can work, do shopping, get water thats making their lives a lot easier. Parvana doesn't spend so much time with Nooria anymore Because Parvana has to go to work and Nooria has to cook and clean.

3. The Taliban make a big show when other people see them the Taliban are showing the consequences for people who don't follow there rules. It's showing that the Taliban does not tolerate thieves.

4. If I was Shauzia I would stay in Afghanistan because without her, her family would die because nobody would make money then they couldn't buy food so then they would die I rather keep my family than going out of the country. Because without your family nothing is fun.

5. Parvana's family wanted to stay in Afghanistan because it is their home land and they have faith that it will be better some day. They hoped that one day the Afghans will kick out the Taliban and all be free to do what ever they want to do
