Thuan+Chapter+9+and+10

1. Why did Parvana's family embrace Shauzia as if she was an old friend, even though they had not met her before?

2. How do you think Parvana felt about running into Shauzia. How would you feel in Parvana's situation? Make a connection to an experience you've had, or another text.

3. Why might Parvana feel uncomfortable about digging up bones for money? Would you dig up the bones? Explain your thinking.

4. Why did Parvana keep her work digging up bones a secret from her family. Try and come up with a least two reasons.

1. Parvana's family embrace Shauzia as an old friend because maybe she's one of Parvana'a friends in school and that she's Paravana's age and they know each other.

2.She felt happy because they knew each other for a long time but then when the Taliban's came they destroyed the country and controlled it and Parvana's relatives got serperate. If I was in Parvana's situation I would feel so happy.

3.She felt uncomfortable because she's scared of the land mines because they might be hiding somewhere Parvana wouldn't know. I would do this because I know who im doing it for because I would sacrifice my life in order to feed my family.

4.She kept digging bones for her family because she knows who's she's doing it for because the family needed some money and she wanted a quick boost.
