Chapter+15

=Chapter 15 Summary=

Chapter 15 was about Parvana’s father coming back from jail. He was very ill but got better as the chapter went on. After he got better there was finally laughter in the house and hope for Parvana. A problem that occurred in this chapter was that Shauzia had to get married. Shauzia resolved this by leaving the country and going to Pakistan. Her and Parvana planed that in 20 years they would meet each other at the top of the Eiffel Tower, in Paris. Parvana was going to Mazar with her father to look for their family. So another thing that was hard for Parvana was saying goodbye to the Window Woman. To show she was leaving she planted flowers outside the Window Woman’s window for her to look at. It came the time where Parvana and her father were leaving. Parvana hugged Mrs.Weera and Homa. They were also leaving to go to Pakistan. Mrs. Weera then pulled something out from under her burqa. It was mother’s magazine. Parvana flicked through it. It was beautiful. Mrs. Weera told her “Tell your mother that copies are being sent out to woman all over the world. She has helped to let the world know what is happening in Afghanistan. Be sure to tell her that. And tell her we need her back, to work on the next issue.” Parvana replied, “I’ll tell her.” As Parvana and her father left, Parvana looked back, through the dusty windshield she could see Mt. Parvana. The snow on it’s peak, sparkling in the sun!
