Idea/concept
I think this book was trying to get though to people that many women living around these areas don't have a voice for themselves and are treated differently

Impact
This book made me stop and appreciate all that we have here in America and to be proud to live here where we have choices and rights

Recommendation
I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in women rights or people who
Like to read story's about people living around that area

Interview
The biggest question I would ask is
What first came to your mind when you won the trial

CURRENT EVENT 1

• Kurdish women a force to be reckoned with for ISIS
• Similarites: the women in the story are getting reconised
• Differences: nujood got divorced these women are fighting
• Thinks that you get reconised for different things
• Stop discriminating women, respect them

CURRENT EVENT 2

• Massachusetts child rape suspect on national crime spree arrested
• Similar: the children were raped in both
• Differences: the guy in America was arrested in the book he wasn't
• She would say that the same thing happened to her
• They should be a bigger punishment for rape
