 The Breadwinner! (from mothers point of veiw)

Chapter 1 – Market

I was wondering how my husband and Parvana was getting on, are they earning enough money? They had gone out to read letters to people who can’t read English. A couple of hours my husband and Parvana came back home, the sun was going down; everyone was watching the sun go down. I was making tea and the only thing we could eat was naan bread, the all sat down but then suddenly someone came bang through the door....

Chapter 2 – Soldiers of the Taliban

It was the Taliban; they said they have come for the man for this house. ‘What’ I shouted ‘you can’t take him; he has not committed any crime. The Taliban said he has not committed any crime but then why did he get education in England instead of here’ he replied and he slapped me on the floor ‘no...no...no!’ Parvana came up to me and wiped my tears off with her hand and helped me to stand up. Parvana pumped up the cushions on the chair and made me sit down. She got a shawl and covered me up.

Chapter 3 – Mum in bed

I was asleep for more than four hours. Then someone gently touched me it was Ali but I did not wake up because my heart was shattered. Parvana went up to Ali and told him to leave me alone Ali said ‘why doesn’t mum wake up’, ‘she will’ she whispered.
