so much depends

So much depends upon the wet singing of the birds, so much depends on the beautiful blue sky, the tall trees, the dry leaves and grass on the ground. so much depends on the bird callings, the bright yellow, the beautiful blue sky.

does my head look big in this #3

As i keep reading this book i have learned that people can be so quick to judge on the "hijab". In the book i am reading Amal she is SO afraid to wear the hijab and what the school administration would say to her. And how her classmates would treat her! Amal would always be thinking are they gonna treat me diffrent . I think that part of the book was kinda of like are you kidding me... when i started to wear the scarf i was scared but not like Amal was in the book. Even though she went to a private prep school i think that anyone should be able to walk anywhere and not have to worry about what people are gonna say about what u are wearing or who u are etc...

does my head look big in this? #2

I am still reading 'Does my head look big in this? Lelia's mom says something really relevant right know in many peoples lives " Amal a good girl" Leila's mom says darting a look at Yasmeen. she wear hijab she good girl" pg .113. Abdel-Fattah. This quote is significant because right know in the Muslim community many young girls choose not to wear the hijab. In the Muslim religion it states that a girl must wear the hijab as soon as she starts her first menstrual cycle. Most young girls do and the ones who don't usually get maid fun of and harassed and in our religion it says a day of not wearing the hijab is walking around naked for a day. So Lelia's mom is saying to Yasmeen that it is important for her to wear her hijab and shows her loyalty to her religion and her how much her faith means to.. it also shows her purity and her morals and values!
