Parvana's Life In Afghanistan
Parvana’s life in Afghanistan
In “The Breadwinner” Parvana’s rights are being violated. She has the right to go to school and get an education. She has the right to go to court to defend people. She has the right to freedom and many other rights, but nearly all of her rights are being violated by the Taliban. I wonder how Parvana deals with it? This essay will be about some of the rights that are violated in Afghanistan, the right for an education, the right to go to court and the right for freedom.
The right for an education is violated. My first quote to help me give evidence that is on pages 10-11 “it wasn’t her fault she wasn’t in school! She would rather be there too.” This quote represents that the right for an education is violated

    Summary Of Ain 'T No Makin' It By Jay Macleod

    The book, Ain’t No Makin’ It, allows us to enter the world of two distinct peer groups in a low income housing project in America. Jay MacLeod takes us on a journey to explain why the attitudes, beliefs, expectations, and aspirations of these two groups of teenagers differ so greatly despite their similarities. One of the primary focuses is on education and the Hallway Hangers and Brothers experiences within Lincoln High School. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child are important documents whose intention is to guarantee basic rights to all people, including children, regardless of where they live in the world. Both documents unequivocally state that education is an important and fundamental right for all. After reading this book, it is my belief that the United States falls short in fulfilling the educational rights set forth in these important declarations. The Brothers and Hallway Hangers were not granted an education that promoted tolerance, encouraged attendance, or provided equity in their education.…

    “in Praise of the “F” Word”.

    “In Praise of The “F” Word” Mary Sherry gave a very good argument about the failure of children in school. Mary Sherry thesis was “Tens of thousands of 18-year-olds will graduate this year and be handed meaningless diplomas.” Mary Sherry uses the idioms like, “Meaningless diplomas” and “Their validity will be questioned”. This gave us as readers evidence that argument exists. I think Marry Sherry did this to get our attention. This essay also shows that there are two sides to every story.…

    Geography in Afghanistan

    Geography in Afghanistan

    Geography exists throughout our everyday lives, where we live, where we work, what we eat, and what we believe in. It plays an essential role in understanding why, where, or how something exists. For example, an introduction to geography gives the knowledge of understanding how certain landforms were formed, or why certain bodies of water exist. This further leads to how certain weather patterns form, thus creating different types of biomes and substantial agricultural productions. Geographers ask the basic questions that answer much more complex questions. This leads to the “My Country Profile Assignment,” for which I have been assigned the country of Afghanistan. Afghanistan’s radically different seasons, political geography, and its involvement in recent world affairs makes it a great country to geographically analyze. I will spend the next segments of this country profile report describing the basic concepts of Afghanistan’s geography.…
