1) What did you guys think whenever Sam came in the beauty school and said that they wanted to take them to jail?
2) Do you think Debbie is sad that her
beauty school is coming to an end?
3) Do you think her beauty school was successful?

My favorite character is defiantly Debbie because she always knows what to do and if she sets her mind to do something she does it.

1. What did you like best about the book?  Least?  I liked that Debbie wanted to make lives easier and that she traveled all that way to help people. I didn't like where the book had times where nothing happened so the book wasn't interesting. I like a book where something is happening every time I flip the page.

1.) How do you all think Debbie felt about being in Afghanistan while a new war was happening?
2.) Why do you think she specifically picked Kabul to teach a school at?
3.) Why was it so important to her that Sams family liked her if they didn't even know she existed?

" But sometimes when I listened to my customers talk I was truly humbled"(224)
" He says that he will kill you Debbie, and the rest of the foreigners who came to your house"(226)
" Friday is called Joma and Thursday night is called rozi joma" (234)

1.) What did you like best about the book? Least?
I liked how she never gave up on the school even though there was many things that went wrong and many things she defiantly could've gave up on. I didn't like how the book wasn't as interesting in the middle of the book as it was in the beginning or end of the book.
2.) How likely would you recommend this book to someone else? Why?
I would recommend the book to people if they are interested in learning about other cultures because it really gave a lot of background culture in it.
3.) Why did the author write this book? What was she trying to communicate? What was he or she trying to teach the readers?
I think that Debbie was trying to show us how differently Afghanistan was from the United States and show the struggles they went through such as the wars and going without electricity a lot of the times and living in a place that wasn't suitable to live. I also think she was trying to show the way that women was treated and how different it was than from how the men were treated.
4.) What was the theme, main idea, or message of the book?
I think that the theme of the book was to never judge someone of where they came from because we truly don't know what it's like to come from that culture. Also to never give up on anything you set yourself to achieve because you'll make it through.

1) How do you guys feel about her leaving her husband?
2) How do you think Debbie feels when her husband won't let her kiss him?
3) Do you think Debbie appreciates her friends help right now because off all of her work and comfort?

1) "Maybe she loved him in some way that I couldn't understand, the way children who are beaten and ridiculed by parents can still suffer some sort of love for them." (199)

My favorite character right now would be Nadia . Nadia has helped Debbie through so much especially with Debbie leaving her husband. Debbie was very upset and needed comfort and Mary was there for her.

My favorite moment was when Debbie finally realized that all this was just too quick. As sad as it is, i'm glad Debbie noticed that she got married to fast even when she wasn't settled in Afghanistan yet. So this is my favorite moment because I think this was a good lesson for Debbie. Even though some lessons you go through in life aren't the greatest. You live and you learn them.
