PRESENTATION OUTLINE

THE BREADWINNER

Robert

Parvana is brave.
Brave: to have strength of mind and act firmly in the face of danger.

Quote: "'I am here for my husband!'she kept saying, louder and louder. Parvana tugged harder on the loose cloth of the burqa. ' Hold steady, my little Malali,' she heard her father say in her mind. Suddenly, she felt very calm.' I am here for my father!' she called out.

Connection: Parvana bravely went to the jail with mother to get father back. They got hit and they were risky. But Parvana kept trying. Her bravery reminds me when I went zip lining 500m high. I was really scared when I was that high off the ground. I really didn't want to take a risk. But it was worth a try. Parvana's story is way more dangerous than mine.

Quote: "' Mother, can I take Maryam to the tap with me?' Parvana said.' Yes, yes, yes!' Maryam jumped up and down.' I want to go with Parvana!' Mother hesitated." P.86

Connection: When mother was caring for her family, it reminds me when my sister stood outside for me when I arrived at my house. She gave me a great big hug. She was always caring for me. And I care for her. We always help each other out. Sometimes we get a fight going on. But it ends in no time. I am not worried when my sister is here. Not at all. My family is like Parvana's family.

Quote: "During her days home, Parvana coached Maryam on her counting, tried to learn mending from Nooria and listened to Mrs.Weera's stories. They weren't as good as her father's stories. Mostly they were descriptions of field hockey games or other athletic events." P.124

Connection: Mrs.Weera is athletic like me. But she does lots of sports. I only play basketball and some other sports. Basketball is my favourite sport. I guess favourite sport is either hockey or "football". My sister doesn't play any sport. But she was in ballet. I wonder what kind of sport Mrs.Weera does for a living? Does she play a sport secretly? We both like to play sports and exercise sometime. Mrs.Weera and I are a lot alike.
