1. What effect did the Taliban's tears have on Parvana?

When Parvana finished reading the Taliban soldier's letter she realized that from seeing Taliban soldiers beat women and arrested her father, she thought they all were bad people. But after seeing the soldier tear up, she realized that some might have feelings like humans do. She felt really confused about the whole thing.

Mrs.Weera's attitude has help her deal with the difficulties in the family and herself by being positive and helping out the family. If Parvana's mother is happy, Parvana, Nooria, Ali, and Maryam will be happy. Plus, she had been through troubles too (page 85).

4. Explain how Parvana bargained to get a better price for her Shalwar Kameez.

Parvana sold her Shalwar Kameez by doing what her father had done, either letting the customer name a price and agree or the seller names a price and the customer agreed. I think she did that do if she named a price to high the customer might leave.
