About Me
- Mrs. Rigsby
- I grew up in a suburb of Chicago and attended the University of Missouri at Columbia for my undergrad. I have a Masters in Elementary Education from Regis. I come from a family with four kids. My sister is a teacher in Chicago. One of my brothers lives here and the other one lives in Chicago. I moved here because my husband loved Colorado and I loved him. As it turns out,I love Colorado as well.
I think the woman in the window was probably someone that was important before the Taliban took over and by throwing small offerings to Parvana she might be think Paravana will save her or help her. It says in the book that Parvana thought she might be a princess waiting for someone to save her. I think Deborah Ellis put this in the book to build excitement in the readers mind that might lead to something later on in the book.

I agree with Erik because Parvana did think the woman in the window was a princess because she threw such lovely gifts on to the blanket.-avery
ReplyDeleteI think the woman was used to add another little aspect to the story, and without it I don't think it would be complete. Also when Shauzia tells Parvana about going to France, Parvana trades the secret about the window woman. Also it is used to build exitement, and as a counterbalance to all the grief a little nice thing in such a miserable world.

I agree with Erik. The woman in the window is used to build exitement, and builds up to give it a complete aspect of her life.

I think the woman in the window is someone that Parvana meets in Parvanas journey. The window woman affects the story because she gives Parvana all these gifts. It says in the book that the window woman sometimes gives Parvana the most random stuff.

I really don't know who the window woman is. I thought that she would be in the story more.I think that she might be some one important, but not a princess, because Afghanistan, even before the Taliban, were more tribal and they probably didn't have very many princesses. I think Deborah Ellis put the window woman into the story to add excitement and so that Parvana had something to hope and wish for.

Erik,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you only because maybe Deborah Ellis put her in the book to help build the excitement up
I agree with Oscar because when the window woman started throwing offerings to Parvana, Shauzia told her that she was going to France and in reply Parvana told her of the window woman.
ReplyDeleteI never really thought about it but i agree with Erik because she might be just in there so Parvana can be a hero and save someone.

I agree with Camilla, because how could there be a princess in Afghanistan. First of all, the Taliban are taking over, and their culture does not support having royalty. No where else in the book does it mention royalty, it is only Parvana's imagination.

I believe that the woman in the window could be the wife of a very wealthy man, and maybe she gives away things that are just lying around the house to Parvana. In the book it mentions how Parvana thought she heard the woman in the window getting beaten. Perhaps she did something wrong and the man did not appreciate it - at all, and she was punished.

I think the woman in the window wanted to be free but instead let her belongings be free.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe she wanted to tell Parvana something... maybe to leave! I think Deborah Ellis put this into the book to let everyone know that Parvana isn't the only one who is suffering.

I disagree with Eric because I don't think she is there to just build up excitement. I don't think that she will be mentioned in any other books in the series because if she is going to leave wouldn't she have left earlier?

I dont know who the window woman is. It's a mystery. Mabey, it was Shauzia? I'm not quite sure who it really was, but it could be her. I think the window woman knew Parvana or else she wouldnt have sent the gifts.'It was a small peice of embroidered cloth, no more than two inches long and an inch wide.' The window woman is so important to the story because she makes it such a mystery. -avery
