'Parvana' Theme: Hope/Courage by Hayden Radford

Throughout the entirety of the novel the only thing that has kept Parvana going is hope and courage. Even when seemingly everything Parvana once had was taken away from her she still had hope, and this hope gave her the courage to rise to the occasion and be the head of her family. On page 168 of the novel, Parvana wonders about what the future holds for her, eventually concluding "Whatever it was, she felt ready for it. She even found herself looking forward to it" (Pg. 154). This shows how the tiniest spark of hope that Parvana had inside her at the beginning of the story had slowly built up and with it her confidence and courage grew. This courage played an enormous role throughout the novel and it shows just how much she had grow in such short amount of time.

This was a project named 'Messages of Hope' by AfghanAid, it was a project where people from all around the world
 gave their hope for Afghanistan and donated money. This shows how the people of Afghanistan
 aren't alone in their struggle against an oppressive regime.
