We will start today with a reading response. You have 20 minutes to complete your response. Submit your response here on Canvas:

When Amir is a young boy, he overhears Rahim Khan tell Baba, “Children aren’t coloring books. You don’t get to fill them in with your favorite colors” (21).

1. What “color” does Baba want Amir to be? (In other words, what does Baba want Amir to be like?) Include a quote in your response.

2. Think about yourself and your own parents / guardians. Do they have expectations of you? Are you the “color” they want you to be? Or are you turning out to be different than what they expected? (Your answer might be a little of both.)

Next, we will do a brief history lesson about Afghanistan, and its involvement with the Soviet Union and the Unitged States.

Finally, we will read Chapter 4 together.

Homework for Monday: Finish reading Chapter 4 and read Chapter 5 (to page 47).
