3. How True to Life is the Story? The book took place from 1982 to 2001. This book is fiction, therefore each character is real. The most real event in the novel was when Zoya described the horrors of the Taliban, because it created imagery that was highly believable. Each event in the story is true and accurate.
1. Books Overall Context The book took place in Afghanistan and in parts of Pakistan from 1982 to 2001. In North America, NAFTA was being created. In South America the El Salvadorian Civil War was coming to an end.
Zoya's Story Brooke Boatright
2. Plot Zoya's Story is about a girl who was living under the rule of the Taliban. After the tragic death of her parents, she and her grandmother fled Afghanistan to neighboring Pakistan. After enrolling in the Country School for Girls, Zoya met lots of other girls who had the same disires as herself. She had an aspiring goal to become a member of the RAWA just like her mom. After a short time period in school, her and several other girls at the school left to travel to Kabul, Afghanistan and joined the RAWA. The girls spread knowledge of the Taliban and helped women learn to live under it. They also helped women to safely flee the country. Main Character: Zoya Turning Points: The first turning point was when Zoya's parents were killed in an act of saving lives. The next important pivitol scene was when Zoya and her grandmother were forced to flee the country, because if they stayed Zoya would've been forced to marry a man who was not against Taliban juristictions. When Zoya had joined the RAWA, she made women believe that they would survive under the Taliban. What is the best part? The best portion of the book was when Zoya was at school because she learned how to cooperate with people her age.
4. POV Zoya, one of the authors, believes that the Taliban was like roaches in a house. They came, invaded, scared people, and killed many. Her words express the horror from the life of a woman. ''We were driven across the Afghan border, our hearts in our mouths every time we had to cross a checkpoint on the road...'' Symbols: RAWA, because it is a sign for hope. It impacts my views of the events of the story because I know that the RAWA will always serve and help each and every woman under the rule of the terrible Taliban.
