Today we discussed the book with Words Alive. I loved the discussion it was wonderful. We all participated and there were great comments on the book. Everybody gave out their opinion and answered the questions correctly.Also we were given great Afghan foods. My favorite part of the discussion was when we all were given a theme and we had to find examples of the book relating to the theme. I loved this book. I got really into it and also understood the situation.
