The Bookseller of Kabul

I like this book because I was able to learn about another culture and how they view women. I think that it is important to learn about different cultures in order to have a more open mind. This book helped  me become aware of how Afghan women are treated and how their role in society. I think that we have come a long way in the role of women here in the U.S. I think that with time the women in Afghanistan    roles will change and become more modern. I also didn't like when the girl was killed because she didn't fall in love with the person that of her social class and her parents didn't approve of him. I also didn't like how the parents get to pick the women's husband because I don't think that you can force someone to fall in love with another individual. I think if they are not in your social class you should not judged. Even though I did not agree with some parts of the Afghan culture I thought this book was interesting to read and become informed.

  1. I don't really agree that in time, the roles will change. I hope they will, but I think their government has to change first, and that will take a while.

  2. I agree that the government must first change in order for the relationships of the citizens and their roles to change.
