She is Muslim which brings her status down a lot, although she is not a very conservative Muslim. Because of this she allows herself to be in sexual relations with some of the men that find her attractive. ]]> 2022-04-19 16:46:50 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2148915206 rachelkrueger1 https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2148939273 Aneeka has a twin brother named Parvaiz who was part of ISIS. This makes her a target for the government because she is related to him. Aneeka found out that Parvaiz changed his mind about being in ISIS, so she attempts to bring him home to Britain safely.]]> 2022-04-19 17:01:51 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2148939273 rachelkrueger1 https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2148947668 Eammon is the son of the British Home Secretary. His father, Karamat, is Muslim, but Eammon did not inherit his faith and does not identify as Muslim.]]> 2022-04-19 17:06:27 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2148947668 rachelkrueger1 https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2148950474 Aneeka is from Pakistan, but she lives in Britain and considers it her home. Because she is still considered to be from Pakistan she is supposedly of lower class. ]]> 2022-04-19 17:08:17 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2148950474 rachelkrueger1 https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2154876900 This story is about a twin sister named Aneeka, a twin brother named Parvaiz, and their older sister Isma. Isma raised the twins because their parents both died. The twins never met their father because he was part of ISIS. Now Parvaiz is trying to understand what his father went through by going to Syria and joining ISIS himself. Meanwhile, Isma and Aneeka meet the Home Secretary’s son, Eammon, and they are trying to get him to help bring Parvaiz home.]]> 2022-04-23 21:01:45 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2154876900 rachelkrueger1 https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2154888034 Aneeka started dating the Home Secretary’s son to try to help Parvaiz come back home, but then she truly falls in love with him. She finally asks Eammon if he can help bring Parvaiz back to Britain, but he doesn’t help her. Once she is able to bring him back, she finds out that he has been killed, so she goes to Pakistan to honor his body and send it home to Britain. When she gets there Eammon follows her and has bombs strapped to him. She won’t leave him and ultimately causes her own death.]]> 2022-04-23 21:34:58 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2154888034 rachelkrueger1 https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2154889871 Aneeka is considered very low class, a woman, and Muslim. She lives in Britain but was originally from Pakistan. She was mostly raised by her older sister, and her father wasn’t part of her life. She will do anything to protect her family, even if it hurts other loved ones. Overall, Aneeka is not a powerful woman.]]> 2022-04-23 21:40:24 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2154889871 rachelkrueger1 https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2154935542 Eammon became friends with Isma, and from Isma he met Aneeka. He falls in love with Aneeka and admires how devoted she is to her family and her religion while still being true to herself. Aneeka asks him to help bring Parvaiz back, and since he’s in love with her he tries his best.]]> 2022-04-24 00:13:02 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2154935542 rachelkrueger1 https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2154952069  Eammon thinks that his father doesn’t expect him to do anything in life, so their relationship is on the edge. He doesn’t think he can ever be better than his father because of the power and privilege he was born into. ]]> 2022-04-24 01:08:12 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2154952069 rachelkrueger1 https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2154952606 Eammon is high class, a man, and he’s from Britain. Although he has a mother and father, their relationships are on the rocks. He knows about the Muslim faith, but does not practice it. He will do anything to protect his loved ones, even if it hurts his family. Overall, Eammon is a very powerful man.]]> 2022-04-24 01:09:50 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2154952606 rachelkrueger1 https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2154955608 Aneeka is mostly a powerless woman. She was not born into any power. She commands “power” by the way she takes care of her family. When she loves she loves all the way.
Because Aneeka is from Pakistan, her parents are dead, and she lives on very little money, I think she is considered low class. Because of this, people treat her like an outsider and are constantly judging her. She is very careful with what she does with her time and who she trusts because of this.]]> 2022-04-24 01:17:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2154955608 rachelkrueger1 https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2154955651 Eammon is a very powerful man. He was born into power, but he doesn’t seem to know how to use it well.
Eammons parents are very wealthy and his father is the Home Secretary so I think he is considered higher class. He is treated very well, and people always respect him. He doesn’t care what is in his past or his future.]]> 2022-04-24 01:18:03 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2154955651 rachelkrueger1 https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2154966375 I think that no matter your class, race, ethnicity, gender, age, etc. bad things can still happen to you. Both Aneeka and Eammon had several struggles in the book and both of them blew up in the end. ]]> 2022-04-24 01:48:54 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2154966375 rachelkrueger1 https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2154967082 Everyone goes through struggles in their lives, some bigger and some smaller. You should not be comparing your struggles to other peoples struggles.]]> 2022-04-24 01:50:46 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2154967082 rachelkrueger1 https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2154967923 Shamsie, Kamila.

It gave her a lot of trouble and stress which could have easily been avoided.
Eammon was judged by his father because he supposedly wasn’t capable of doing anything with his life, but he probably would have done great things in the end. Because his dad didn’t believe in him he won’t be able to accomplish anything else.]]> 2022-04-24 02:01:10 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelkrueger1/sksop9fvg0kvtz25/wish/2154971118
