1. Was it right for Sultans family to reject Karim?
From an Afghan prospective it was right for Sultans family to reject Karim. Karim was not related and was from a small family. He was also a poor man who had little to provide. From an American prospective it was wrong to reject Karim. They loved each other and Leila wanted the marriage to happen.
2. Was it the right decision for the part of the family to split off from Sultan?
The decision for Bibi, Gul, Yunus, Leila and Bulbula to leave Sultans household was the correct one. Sultan was too powerful and disrespectful to the rest of the family. Also the family was too big to get along smoothly.
3.Was it worth it for Leila to accept the letters?
Leila had both positive and negative consequences of accepting the letters. The letters from Karim put joy in her life and Karim gave her choices she never had before. However, accepting the letters was against her religion so it caused her fear that they would be found.
4. How was the book?
It was interesting to lean about a different culture from a source other than the news. It was also a positive experience because we learned what Afghanistan is like. However, the book was frustrating at times because of the negative aspects of the society.
