Pulling It Together (Notes from Chapter 8)

"Aisha makes her eyes go small. ‘Nadira, the trouble with you is you don’t fight. You just give in.’”

As much as I don’t want to admit it, I think that Aisha is right. Nadira does give in. I think that Aisha needs to tone it down a little, and Nadira needs to step it up a little more. Aisha is constantly fighting the system and trying to get Mr. Rashid, the lawyer, to listen to her. Nadira just thinks that Mr. Rashid is right and they just have to wait it out and let the system deal with it. Nadira needs to believe that they can do something to help their parents, and Aisha needs to know that her ideas will not always work. Both of them just need to try.
