A modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more. For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.

Discussion/Analysis Prompt

Consider how the characters in the novel deal with revenge. Which characters believe revenge is an appropriate course of action? Which characters disagree? Finally, compare your response to the Personal Connection Prompt to the way the characters handle the idea of revenge.

Teaching Suggestion: This Discussion/Analysis Prompt encourages students to make connections between their Personal Connection Prompt and the characters in the novel. In addition to being a motivation for the characters, revenge is the justification for the US presence in Afghanistan, as well as for the continued warfare in the country; however, Reshmina’s choice to follow “another path” signifies this departure from revenge, indicating future generations have the ability to leave the endless cycle of warfare.
