"Aisha and I, we never hit it off, really. She's the quick one, the one with a flashing temper whom Abba treats like a firstborn son, while I'm the slow-wit second-born who just follows along." (page 3)
I found these two sentences interesting because I want to find out how Aisha and Nadira's relationship ends up. I like reading about the connection between Aisha and Nadira because I get along with my brother very well. When I look at my brother and then think about my academic life when I was his age I always say how he learns a lot differently then me. He understands new concepts in school a lot faster then I did when I was in 3rd grade. Even though I learned things differently then my brother my parents still loved me the same, maybe even more. I think that Abba should treat both of his daughters the same way even thought Aisha is smarter then her sister.
I agree. I find the relationship between these two sisters very strained. At one point in the reading when Aisha calls Nadira a pig because she wants a french fry, I felt really bad for Nadira. On the other hand, she says that they do hang out at Dunkin' Doughnuts and McDonalds together.
ReplyDeleteI also want to find out what is going to happen between the sisters. What do you think is going to happen? I think Abba will end up seeing that Nadira has some good qualities too! And the thing about your brother was a good point about your life and connected you to the story.
