Breadwinner #3

Its a hard life in Afghanistan. having to wear a burqa to cover your self head to toe, not being aloud to go outside without a man by your side, and already knowing that it might not end. this is the life of many children and people in Afghanistan.

women in Afghanistan have to wear dresses called burqas. imagine having to wear a burqa on a hot sweaty day. when you walked the street all you could see was women and children in burqas. it would be hard to see one women to the next and which women was which.

In class we are reading about the book the Breadwinner. In the book there is a girl, the main character, named Parvana. in the book Parvana lived in a small 2 room house. one room was used as a bathroom the other for sleeping, eating and relaxing. but before the Taliban came to Afghanistan they lived in a wonderful house and had lots ofd space but everytime it bomed they lost more untill they had almost nothing. Can you imagine being in Parvanas shoes. You would have to live and sleep with all your siblings and parents even if you didn't get along. when you wanted to just get away from your family because you got in a fight with your parents of brothers and sisters you couldn't.

Another thing that happened in the Breadwinner, was that Parvana's father was taken away because he had an education, but he went to school in England and they didn't want to have anyone spreading another countrys education or religion. because only men were aloud to work Parvana had to pretend to be a boy and go out into the market to work. if you were Parvana what would it feel like to have to work at such a yong age.

I think it would very hard to have to work. exspecialy if you were the only one making money. it would be alot of stress and pressureon you to make sure you make enough money to feed your family. yet it would be a nice break from your family.

it would definetly be a hard life having wear a burqa, have to live in a small building and having to work to geed your family. but thats life in afghanistan.
