In Parvana’s journey the children are the only hope for Afghanistan s future. Do you agree?
Children are the only hope for the future of Afghanistan because Parvana and the others used to live differently than the other people in Afghanistan. One day Parvana found a baby inside a bombed house and she took the baby girl along with her so that she doesn’t get bored. Parvana found Asif in a cave who couldn’t walk because he lost his leg in the war, Asif scared Parvana by saying that he is holding a gun towards her and if she comes any further he will be shooting her. Still Parvana was not angry or was not offended. Later on when they were friends she took care of Asif she never use to make fun of Asif as he is not having a leg. Parvana was a kind of girl who use to take care of everybody throughout the journey through the villages. When Parvana was going through villages, one day she saw a baby crying in a house where his mother was lying beside she said the boy ”you are like my brothers height”. This shows that Parvana was a caring natured girl even if she is having to many hurdles in her own life.
Asif was rude…….he used to shout at Parvana by saying “bring some food” by throwing the pot towards her”…”I don’t like people throwing things to me…if you want food go get it by yourself”…Parvana said…again he shouted back saying… ”I can’t walk can’t you see that? How stupid you are”, even though Asif was rude she never used to be upset about that and still took him with him as he was all alone. Moreover when use to say her plans to Asif about how she will be escaping from Afghanistan. He said that he was coming with her, just to annoy her, but that was not the only reason for coming with her. This character shows that she was all set that she will take Asif and Hassan along with him to live a better life. Her imagination keeps them going. They found a girl named Leila, she takes them to her house and she also teaches them how to get food from the mines. They decided to

    Salva lived in Sudan, Africa, while Parvana lived in Kabul, Afghanistan. A big difference between Salva and Parvana is that, Salva was separated from his family and didn’t know where they were for a while, and Parvana went to the market everyday to work to support her family. Salva embarked on his journey alone, but Parvana lived with all of her family, besides her brother, who was killed, and her father (for a period of time), who was arrested by the Taliban. Despite these differences, Salva’s and Parvana’s lives were also similar. Both Salva and Parvana went to school, and while they were in school they both didn’t like it. After they were deprived of their ability to go to school, they both missed it and wanted to go back. Because Salva was forced to live alone for most of his life, he was very independent. Similarly, Parvana had to protect herself and make her own decisions while she was at work. Salva and Parvana both made friends throughout their journeys. Salva became friends with Mariel and Michael; Parvana met up with a girl named Shauzia who she knew from school, and they became fast friends. In some cases Salva and Parvana had very different stories, but in others their stories were very…

    Marking one of the most traumatic periods of U.S. history, the Vietnam War spanned more than a decade and caused massive disruption both in Southeast Asia and on the American home front. Although U.S. leaders were often ambiguous about American involvement in Vietnam, they nevertheless pursued a fairly unbroken policy of interference in the country in an effort to halt the spread of communism during the cold war. In the end, the U.S. defeat in Vietnam proved costly, both financially and in terms of the number of lives lost, and diminished America's reputation as the defender of democracy and freedom throughout the world.…

    At the age of fourteen, she chose to speak up “for the rights of children” (“Laura Bush: Malala Yousafzai’s courage” par. 5) when she was met with an intrusion by the Taliban and when they took away educational rights from women, she chose to stand up for herself along with all the other schoolgirls in her town. Although the Taliban threatened her, she still stood by her beliefs despite the consequences. When Bush writes, “Today, for Malala and the many girls like her, we need not and cannot wait. We must improve their world,” (“Laura Bush: Malala Yousafzai’s courage” par. 8) she shows the cruel reality that even today there are still many catastrophes in the world and that it must be put to a stop. Malala chose to not give up and instead defied the Taliban’s orders and by doing so, she risked her life for education and soon turned into an eminent icon of being valiant for young girls…

This boy definitely had heard about Pahela Baishakh from his parents, even might have read news and seen pictures on the web, and had nourished a kind of overwhelming sensitivity deep inside his heart to observe this day in his motherland. He probably has made several online friends through Facebook or so who may have added further momentum to his spirit by sending him photographs and information on this occasion. And now that he is in Bangladesh, he is desperate to fulfill his long-nurtured curiosity and dream.…
