4. Parvana has to change her gender in order to support her family. She is hesitant at first, but then accepts that she must do this. How would you feel in her position?

1.Parvana struggles with wether or not to enter the shop because she is scared if she is considered a girl or a women to enter the shop. Some people might say that she's a girl or a women so she's scared. I think that she's also scared that she's a boy and it's her first time being a boy and going to a market without her dad because usually she goes to the market with her dad but this time she goes along by herself because her dad is arrested.

2.It helped because Mrs. Weera helped with everything by taking care of Parvana's mom and helped with the boy thing with Parvana by thinking of a plan because they won't survive if they won't do anything. She also cheered everyone by telling the family to cheer up and she cleaned up the mess from what had happened when Parvana's father was arrested.

3.Shes upset because she likes her hair and she would be nervous going as a guy to the market because she doesn't want to do it because the plan might not work and it's kinda weird.

4.I would feel unsteady and sad and I would think that it will be not that back because I will know what i'm doing it for.
