Week two. Topic 1

This weeks read started off with Parvana's mother very depressed and sad because she could not get over loosing her husband. It later gave a flashback of when the father was their and Fantana, Parvana's mother, was very stubborn about how she didn't need to go outside and experience the world to write her book. After Parvana and her mother got back from the prison, where Parvana's father was being kept, mother's feet were extremely torn up and had blisters all over them. She then went into a sort of depression where she just laid face down on the toshak and wouldn't speak to anyone. If it was not of a lucky encounter with Mrs. Weera by Parvana, she would not have gotten up and the family would have come upon even more extreme troubled times. After mother preposed the idea of Parvana wearing Hossain's clothes, her voice caught and she had an emotional change to being sad in the memory of Hossain. Later that night Fantana was caught in the memory of him when she whispered to Parvana "Go to sleep Hossain... Go to sleep my son." Because of all of Fantana's ups and downs in her emotional roll-a-coaster, I think that by the end of the novel there will be a big circumstance where she is overjoyed with excitement or happiness. For example maybe her husband returns home from prison or Noori gets married.
