This chapter really shocked me. The first part of the chapter talks about her first coming to Kabul to help the people over there and then the last part of it talks about the tragic things that happened in her life that lead her to where she is now.
I like when she talks about the shops that are found over in Kabul. When she first arrives at Kabul the place seems very bland and not like a very nice place to be in, but then as you get closer to the towns they brighten up with the businesses. I don't really think that is fair that the men only get to run the businesses out in the town and if the women want to run businesses they have to run them from inside their homes. Even though the Taliban is gone over there and most things have started to change I think that Kabul is still very far from where is needs to be with the way freedoms and rights of women. I also do not get why they are made to dress that way. The entire time I read all you do is here the women complain about wearing them. Also, the men all see there wives without them and I do not really see a difference if they see there wives to seeing other women. Its not like they have not seen a women before. I do like that when men and women such as Roshanna, Miss Debbie, and Daud become close friends and are alone in groups in the guest houses that they can be comfortable with each and not exactly follow all the rules like they would outside.
The second part of this chapter made me feel really bad for Miss Debbie. The dealing with her husband beating her and her not being able to leave him would really suck. If I were I would never put up with it and I really do not see why she does. He is not a good husband at all. I found it weird however that he did allow her to go to a course to learn what do in case of those emergency situations. Then like a few weeks after she takes that course 9/11 happened and she went there to work hands on by helping the firefighters. I thought this though very devastating was a great opportunity for her.

again, minor mistakes.
here = place
hear = to hear a sound
You need to know the difference and when to use each in it's proper placement.
there = place
their = possession
It's against the Koran for men to look at women uncovered. That's what is making them upset. Its also a reason women wear veils.
Good long posts though, which is very a good sign that you are reading and reflecting.
Keep up the good work,
Mr. Farrell
