Children are the only hope for the future of Afghanistan because Parvana and the others used to live differently than the other people in Afghanistan. One day Parvana found a baby inside a bombed house and she took the baby girl along with her so that she doesn’t get bored. Parvana found Asif in a cave who couldn’t walk because he lost his leg in the war, Asif scared Parvana by saying that he is holding a gun towards her and if she comes any further he will be shooting her. Still Parvana was not angry or was not offended. Later on when they were friends she took care of Asif she never use to make fun of Asif as he is not having a leg. Parvana was a kind of girl who use to take care of everybody throughout the journey through the villages. When Parvana was going through villages, one day she saw a baby crying in a house where his mother was lying beside she said the boy ”you are like my brothers height”. This shows that Parvana was a caring natured girl even if she is having to many hurdles in her own life.
Asif was rude…….he used to shout at Parvana by saying “bring some food” by throwing the pot towards her”…”I don’t like people throwing things to me…if you want food go get it by yourself”…Parvana said…again he shouted back saying… ”I can’t walk can’t you see that? How stupid you are”, even though Asif was rude she never used to be upset about that and still took him with him as he was all alone. Moreover when use to say her plans to Asif about how she will be escaping from Afghanistan. He said that he was coming with her, just to annoy her, but that was not the only reason for coming with her. This character shows that she was all set that she will take Asif and Hassan along with him to live a better life. Her imagination keeps them going.
