Of Images and Ideas

Today, we explored photographs from Kabul, Afghanistan. We saw pictures of the rich history and heritage of the capital city of Afghanistan, and yet we also saw images of life under the Taliban rule. Afterwards, you each chose a side to discuss and debate the presence of American and foreign forces in Afghanistan.

I appreciated your sensitive, insightful, and astute comments--in many cases based on the current news articles about Afghanistan that you found, annotated, and shared with us in class.

For tonight, read through Chapter 3 of The Breadwinner, and afterwards, make a prediction, below, about what will happen to Parvana's father. Do you think he will be released from prison? Detained? Something worse? Share your idea and why you think so, below.
