This is a memoir by a young Afghan woman who lost a leg in a land mine, obtained medical help in Germany, and ultimately came to the United States to live. She spends a lot of time talking about her experiences as a new immigrant navigating a new culture and language. Those who want to better welcome newcomers would find this book of great interest. A really interesting book, written by a girl, an Afghan child, who lost a leg in a land mine, and her life through losing all of her family but her mother, their emigration to the US. If you think immigrants to the US have it easy, and they need to "at least learn the language", read this. YA book, but well written and def worth the read. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
Ahmedi was born just as the war between the mujahideen and the Soviets reaches its peak in Afghanistan. The sounds of gunfire and fighter planes were as normal to her as the sounds of traffic or children playing are to a schoolgirl in America. When she stepped on a land mine on her way to school, she began to learn--slowly--that ordinary people, often strangers, have immense power to save lives and restore hope. She was taken from a childhood in Afghanistan, where the classrooms are naked chambers with only chalkboards on the walls and are filled with more students than seats (and no books), to a Chicago adolescence, where teenagers struggle to decide whether to try out for school plays, whom to take to the homecoming dance, and where to go to college. This story was selected from hundreds submitted to ABC's Good Morning America. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
