Transcript: By: Aria Tanjuaquio POV in the BreadWinner Start POV in the BreadWinner Item: Hossain's Clothes Hossain's clothes. My older brother. I'm rethinking this. I guess I'll give them up. This shows life under the Taliban because some girls had to dress and look like boys so they could go outside. It also shows how desperate people were for work and food. So if it helps show how life was and it shows how desperate people were then I will give up his clothes. Parvana Signed, Parvana Entry 1 My father. He's been taken. It was so sudden, they barged in while everyone was laughing, then the younger kids started screaming. All I could think to do when they started looking through the closet was "Don't let them find the books". So I pounced at the soldiers. I was beaten shortly after. So was Mother, she fought back as well, but failed. Before father was dragged away he told me was "Take care of the others, My Malal.". Entry 1 Signed, Parvana Entry 2 I do not think I will recover from this. I just thought there was finally a soccer game, and things were getting better. Me and Shauzia just walked into the soccer stadium to get double the money. There were soldiers and prisoners, that didn't seem right. We walked in anyway, until we witnessed blood splater onto the floor. I was terrified, this is where the prisoners came to be punished. A soldier led us out of the stadium, but I don't think I'll ever recover. Entry 2 Signed, Parvana Item: Mr.Skull Mr.Skull was me and Parvana's buinsess mascot of digging bones. We found it while digging for bones, so we put it on the blanket as a friendly mascot. I don't know how I feel about this. On the other hand, it isn't as sentimental. This shows that many people had to dig bones to earn desperatly needed money. Shauzia Signed, Shauzia Entry 1 Finally! A friend. I've met a friend! Kaseem. Or should I say, Parvana. She was dressed up as boy as well. I'm not the only one! I'm so excited. I met her at the market, she was a letter reader and I was a Tea boy. Entry 1 Signed, Shauzia Entry 2 We went bone digging today. I don't know how to feel. We got a lot of money though. We saw many dead bodies and bones. There was debrie as well. Did we do the right thing? Of course we did! I think. We are helping are families too. Entry 2 Signed, Shauzia Item: Her Burqa I am thrilled to be throwing this Burqa where I cannot see it. I have had to wear this burqa every time I went outside. I am absolutley fed up. I never want to see this hot, enclosed burqa again. Nooria Signed, Nooria Entry 1 Father has been taken away. I couldn't do anything. I just, curled up into a ball. I heard Maryam and Ali screaming, mother was beaten. So was Parvana. It was terrifiying. This is horrid. They said he was arrested for his foregin education. Sounds very Unjust to me. Entry 1 Signed, Nooria Entry 2 Mrs.Weera and mother have annouced incredible new to me! I can start a small class! I've always wanted to be a teacher. I'm thrilled to teach younger kids and help them through the way. This is unbelieveably great news. Entry 2 Signed, Nooria
