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

Parvana's mother is against Parvana digging up bones because she thinks that digging up bones are dangerous and that she can get hurt from digging up bones. Mrs.Weera said that people use animal bones to get their good and not human bones.

2. Why have Parvana and Nooria stopped fighting?

They had stop fighting because Nooria knows that there are no more stuff to sell and that they really need the money to get food and other things. They also stopped fighting because she knows that the only way to get money for the family is if Parvana keeps digging up the bones.

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

The Taliban's make such show outs of punishing thieves because they are thieves and they steal things form people or stores and that is not good so they give big show outs for their punishments.

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.

I wouldn't really know if she should leave Afghanistan because she wants to save herself. If i was in her situation i wouldn't know if i should leave. I wouldn't want to leave my family even if they had fight a lot but i would want to have peace and quite for once and not have my family fight all the time. So if i was in her situation i wouldn't know. I love my family even if they fight all the time but i would want to save my self too.

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

I think its because they didn't want to leave their home town. And they wanted to enjoy their home town until they leave this planet.
