Kabul Beauty School Final Reflection

Overall I really liked this book. I liked how the affects of one person had such an impact on a lot of women living over there. The beauty school changed so many of their lives by better the ability these women had to get a higher paying job. It also gave an insight to the way the women live their lives everyday and how they are treated. I really wish the lives of all the people over there were so much different and that they would see the example that is set by the people who go over there to help and try to follow it to make their lives better.
My favorite part of this book was when Sam finally decided to tell his father that he and Miss Debbie were married. It was my favorite part because this was the most important and loving thing that Sam could ever to for her and he finally did it and it meant the world to her not only because it showed his affection for her but also because Miss Debbie's father died when she was little and she found this as way get to know what it was like to have a father.
My least favorite part of the book was when the Afghan women tell the stories of their lives. It was my least favorite part because I felt so bad for how all these women were treated on a regular basis. I feel that no women should ever be treated so badly and that every women no matter where they live should all the same rights as a man.

I'm glad you liked the book. Mrs Heitzer saw it advertised one day in a magazine and asked if it looked worth while to check into purchasing. I guess it got good reviews, and so she added it to our school's collection.

I guess Sam did the right thing by coming clean and just telling his folks that they were married? Sometimes the truth is always the best course of action, or best answer.

Excellent blog. Blog score is 29/30 (-1 for some earlier type errors) but still worthy of an "A+"

Nice job!
