Nooria has decided to reject the marriage proposal from the man in Mazar-e-Sharif, where the Taliban forces are not in control of the country.

Play out the scene with the following characters:

Nooria Yasmein Mrs. Weera Lobsang Parvana's Mother Cindy Parvana Shameu

What arguments might Nooria have against the marriage? What arguments might her mother have for the marriage? Who might Mrs. Weera side with? What would Parvana think? Use your understanding of the characters and the text to play out this scene. You should prepare it to preform in front of the class.

Mrs. Weera might be on Parvana's mother side because maybe she wants the best for Nooria because she could move out from Afghanistan and move somewhere better so she wont get hurt. Also we think Mrs. Weera is on Parvana's mother side because she knows her and that the are friends. Nooria might have arguments like I don't know much of the person I'm marrying. Parvana's mother might say how Nooria should go since there is freedom over there and girls can still go to school. Parvana might think I can't wait for her to leave since they aren't the best of friends but she would still care about her because she is her sister.

Nooria : I don't know the person and that they might not be able to provide a good environment for me since I don't have much information about the person I'm marrying and that we might not be compatible.

Parvana's Mother : Well either way Nooria you still have to get married because if you don't you won't be able to get your education and you will have to stay here in this city where we can't even go outside!

Nooria : But I don't want to, how could I marry someone I don't know much about.

Parvana : Nooria you should go you can have freedom and education and that you might have a job there.

Mrs. Weera : You should listen to your mother because she knows what right and whats wrong for you.

Nooria : Okay everyone I will go since everyone thinks I should!
