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.

Parvana has a different life than me for a nimber of reasons. She lives in Afganistan, she does not go to school. Whenever she goes outside she has to go with a man and wear a chador. She lives in a very small room, with six people (now 5) living in it. Sometimes she has to do things she shouldn't to and doesn't want to do. According to page 70," Don't make me do this!"

Parvana's life is different then mine because she does not go to school, she can't go anywhere without covering her face, and her country is ruled by muslams that change her religion so if anyone does anything wrong they get thrown in jail. This happened to her dad cuasing her to get a short haircut and go out to the market as a letter reader letting people "Pay whatever you like" according to page 79.

Parvana’s life is harder than ever since the Taliban people came and took it away from her. Her life is so much different than mine or anyone else in our class. She hardly has any money and lives in a small house with 6 people including her. Now when you are in your room think about that and make sure you appreciate what you have. In Afghanistan people don’t have computers and can’t go to school. Kids in our class are always wishing that we didn’t have school and could get out of it. But when you imagine your life without it do you think those same thoughts. It would be completely awful not to go to school and have friends like we do every day. People go against this rule though according to page 100 ““ ‘I’ve been thinking of starting up a little school here, A secret
ReplyDeleteSchool, for a small number of girls, a few hours a week.”
In Afghanistan it so much more violent than it is here. The Taliban people beat the families on the street with sticks if they don’t believe what the Taliban believe. For example this quote on page 121 ““All of a sudden one of the soldiers took out a sword, raised it above his head and brought it down on one man’s arm. Blood flew in every direction. The man cried out in pain.” It is where Parvana goes into a stadium thinking it is a soccer game and finds out it is a violent scene where solders are killing prisoners.
And last but not least women are not supposed to go outside unless they are wearing a burqa wrapped around their head. Parvana has to dress up as a boy in order to go outside and work to get money to pay for work. When parvana takes her siblings out for a walk they are delighted to be outside. Afghanistan is so much different than it is here and Parvana has such a different life.

Parvana's life is a lot more miserable than mine. I have a have a house that is ten times bigger. If she does something that the taliban don't like,she is either killed or sent to prison, if I get in trouble, I get a fair judgement. I usually don't have to go out to sell stuff just to stay alive. My mom never sas this to me, " take your father's writing things and go to the market."from page 74. Connor
ReplyDeleteParvana lives in misery,grief,and sadness. I am treated with luxury. She does not have slot cars, a TV, a real house, a ps3, or her own bedroom. I do. She cannot afford any extra toys, or even extra food. She has to seee horrible things. " A Taliban man too young to have a beard was holding a string with four severed hands strung on like beads. He was laughing and showing off his booty to the crowd."

parvana has a small house, smaller than my room! of corse i live with one more person. Parvana lives with six people.in afganistan there are really small houses unlike here. in afganistan women are not allowed to do much, they cant go to school & they cant go out unless they have an escort(a boy)or a note.woman are not happy with theese rules so somtimes they sneek. on page 63 they have to turn a girl to a boy.that almost like sneeking a girl out. also, on page 100 they want to sneek a school for girls only. the women are smart but if they get caught, to jail they go.here us women are free, but not in afganistan.
