Looking at the hard, plaster cast that extended from her hand to her shoulder, Jillian groaned for the billionth time. She couldn't believe that—in a split second—she had broken her arm in two places and had ruined her chances of becoming the leading scorer on the girls' varsity basketball team. She thought back to the moment that had led to her current situation. What seemed at the time as a snappy solution quickly snowballed into a catastrophe.
Jillian sat on her bedroom floor organizing notebooks, folders, and textbooks. She had designated a color to each class—yellow for Accelerated Geometry, green for Chemistry I, orange for American Government, and so on. Jillian always joked that she was only good at two things: organization and basketball. Jillian's mother even teased her daughter about the military precision with which she performed everyday tasks such as making her bed and ironing her clothes. "A place for everything and everything in its place," Jillian always said. In her bedroom, that meant books on the bookshelf, clothes in the closet, and blankets neatly tucked beneath the corners of her mattress. On the basketball court, that meant Jillian poised to make a free throw or a three-pointer at the buzzer.
Jillian glanced at the clock and realized that she would have to hurry to meet her best friend, Vanessa, at the park. She stacked the rainbow of books on her desk and grabbed her sneakers. Suddenly, a light bulb above Jillian flickered a few times and went dark. Jillian checked the clock again and decided that she had to time to change the bulb before she left. She grabbed a new bulb and rolled her desk chair under the light. She unscrewed the old bulb and replaced it with a new one. As she was about to step down, the chair rolled ever so slightly and Jillian lost her balance. She collapsed to the floor with a loud thud, the full weight of her body landing on her right arm. She lay there, whimpering in pain, as her mother raced to her rescue. Four hours, five X-rays, and one heavy plaster cast later, Jillian returned to her house discouraged, disappointed, and disheartened.

Explanation:
1.Parvana leaves a token of appreciation for the window woman. Why? What has their
interaction meant to both Parvana and the woman?
The Breadwinner Chapters 14-15
Answer:
Chapter Two
1. Why does Parvana have to go to get water for the family? Why does the water
have to then be boiled?
Parvana has to get the water, as no one else is able. Father couldn’t carry water
because of his leg; the little brother and sister were too small to carry water up three
flights of stairs, and Mother and Nooria would stumble in burqas and they had no
male to accompany them for safety from the Taliban. There is no running water or
water faucets.
2. Why doesn’t the family talk to the neighbors or invite friends over?
Father said it wasn’t safe to talk to others because anyone could be a spy for the
Taliban. Parvana feels that is safe but too lonely for her.
3. Why does the family sell their things? Why would they sell Paravana’s good
clothing?
Like many Afghan families, they regularly sold what they could for money for food.
Parvana would not be going anywhere she could wear good clothes, so there was no
need for the clothing. It also had to be sold.
4. Who was Hossain?
Hossain was the first-born and would have been the oldest brother in the family. He
was killed by a land mine when he was 14 years old. The family misses him terribly.
Mother saved his clothes. Parvana would have liked to be able to play with him now.
5. What was Father’s lesson in his story tonight?
The lesson from the history story was that Afghanistan has always been the home of
the bravest women in the world. He is telling his family this because they have to be
brave.
6. Why do the four soldiers burst in the room and take Father away?
Because Father was educated in England. This means, there was really no reason to
take Father but they just did. They put him in jail. Parvana threw herself at the
soldiers because she did not want them to take Father’s books and cause him more
trouble.
