Since the last post, a lot has happened but a little has happened at the same time. Tensions in their city are rising and because of this it is becoming more and more dangerous in the city. Stricter and stricter rules are being implemented, such as limited internet time. Now Nadia and Sadiq are hearing talks of a "door" to freedom from their country.
If I were to put myself into this book, it would be scary. Just imagining living in a war-torn country and having to flee without the help of your family is a scary thought. If I were in the book I think I would be friends with Nadia, she is independent and has more of an open-mind than most of the other people in the book. She is willing to look outside of her culture and see if the things they preach are actually the right thing to do. But, I do feel like at the same time as I would get along with her, I would also disagree with her at times. She is too stubborn to go back and see her family because she feels scared and a little bit egotistical. She doesn't want to have them even think that she is saying they were right in saying that she shouldn't be independent. I would clash with her on this because sometimes even if you know you are right you should put that behind you and apologize, especially in her situation where quite frankly her and her family could die at any moment. I don't think I would get along with Sadiq as well just because he is scared to speak his mind at times, especially with his family. This can frustrate me especially if there is something really bothering you, but you still don't say anything. The quality of him that I would get along with however, is that he actually thinks things through and weighs out the pros and cons before doing things. I will be commenting on Danny and Gracie's posts.
