Parvana’s Essay
Parvana’s Essay

Parvana by Deborah Ellis is a brave girl, do you agree?
Yes I agree that Parvana is a brave girl because she has a great skill using things and she has a great imagination of planning things out and also she’s a survivor. Parvana has to do it for the family because she has a bossy sister who doesn’t do anything. Parvana has great skills because she has confidence of what she’s doing. Parvana had to dig up skills from the cemetery and it was a worst job but she used her skills and she was confidence and not lay back. Parvana also has a great of getting things done as soon as possible because she eleven years old girl but she was amazing, at disguising herself as a boy and not showing emotion while she was witnessing acts of slaughter among people. “I kicked them out of the way” Parvana joked, but she was still shaking” page 112

Parvana has a great imagination of planning like putting things together and make the right decision. Parvana and Shauzia had a plan of meeting each other in 20 years however the plan was good and Parvana because it was an adventure for Parvana to see something new, where people are happy and there is no violence and peace place in Paris. Parvana was excited about this and at the same time she was scared as well because it’s a long journey.
“The top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. I told you I was going to France.” Page 167

Parvana has a great survival skill by changing her hair into a boy and dressed as a boy just to help for her family. Parvana has a great survival skill like when the Taliban’s soldiers came and she acted as a boy and she was brave enough to do that and she did it by her braveness. Parvana found out that she’s not the only one who is doing the survival, other girls are also doing it like one day she found a friend from school who also dressed as a boy and had her hair done. She was surprised as she saw one of her friends from school because everyone left and all the schools are

    Salva lived in Sudan, Africa, while Parvana lived in Kabul, Afghanistan. A big difference between Salva and Parvana is that, Salva was separated from his family and didn’t know where they were for a while, and Parvana went to the market everyday to work to support her family. Salva embarked on his journey alone, but Parvana lived with all of her family, besides her brother, who was killed, and her father (for a period of time), who was arrested by the Taliban. Despite these differences, Salva’s and Parvana’s lives were also similar. Both Salva and Parvana went to school, and while they were in school they both didn’t like it. After they were deprived of their ability to go to school, they both missed it and wanted to go back. Because Salva was forced to live alone for most of his life, he was very independent. Similarly, Parvana had to protect herself and make her own decisions while she was at work. Salva and Parvana both made friends throughout their journeys. Salva became friends with Mariel and Michael; Parvana met up with a girl named Shauzia who she knew from school, and they became fast friends. In some cases Salva and Parvana had very different stories, but in others their stories were very…

    Throughout the novel Ellis attempts to concentrate on Parvana’s personality rather than physical appearance by refusing to describe Parvana’s physical features. This gives the reader the impression that Parvana can be any Afghani girl. Parvana undergoes substantial mental and physical torment in the duration of the plot; along with being made to shoulder the responsibility of running her family’s household, she emerges as a considerably more mature and responsible character at the end of the book.…

    Three Paths in Hinduism

    • 1310 Words
    • 6 Pages

    There are three paths in Hinduism - the path of knowledge, the path of devotion and the path of action. The topic to be discussed in this paper is the path of devotion, or 'bhakti' in Sanskrit. Devotion is defined as, "love, loyalty, or enthusiasm for a person, activity, or cause" (Google Definitions). In the case of any religion, specifically Hinduism, this devotion is towards a God or number of gods and realizing that they are not just there to be worshipped but will also protect you and help you when you need them, creating a more personal relationship. I chose this topic because I think it is important, regardless of what religion you are, to have an utmost devotion toward whatever God or deity you are worshipping. God is the center of most religions, and without a devotion and love towards God we cannot bear the fruits of the religion, which are the qualities which that God possesses. Bhakti is a predominate theme seen in Hinduism (mostly after the Vedic times) especially in the Epics (Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana, etc.). We will discuss the path of devotion and how it is defined, practiced and brought out in Hinduism.…
