Thunder Over Kandahar

Why I like/dislike this book.
I like this book because it’s a powerful
novel of friendship set among terror of
present day Afghanistan.
 I didn’t like the rising action of my book
because Tamanna was forced an
arranged marriage and I didn’t like that
part in my book because Tamanna did
not have a say or approve of this.

Plot Line-Introduction
.

The conflict is man vs. man because Yasmine and
Tamanna are running and hiding away from
Tamanna’s uncle so Tamanna wouldn’t get killed.
Yasmine is from England and her parent are from Afghanistan but moved to
England for education and schooling and to raise Yasmine but now she is
getting older and more responsible so her parents decided to move to
Afghanistan and teach.
Now they are very successful teaching at the university in Afghanistan but only
the farther is aloud because there is this law that the woman is not aloud to be
in a room with other men besides her husband or farther/older brother in the

with each other so close that they treat each other like family and Yasmine’s

But the man that is marring Tamanna saw her
limping and thought that she is sick and week just
because of her uncle abused her and now she is a
disgrace to her family and now her uncle has to kill


So Yasmine’s parents went out onto the street to talk to
Tamanna’s mother is secret without anybody knowing
beidess Yamine to talk about moving back to England and
taking Tamanna with them so she can have a fresh new
start with rights and freedom. Tamanna’s mother was very
sick and weak but very happy to hear this. She said she
ran away and hid from her uncle so Yasmine’s parents
went out onto the streets and went looking for her, but her
uncle knew some Taliban men and sent them to go look
for a young girl in a brand new blue burka (which
Yasmine has gave to her)and there parents didn’t know
that the Taliban went looking for them to because they
thought they were spies for the International Security
Assistance Forces. So her parents went out on the streets
and look while Yamine stayed at home waiting. But her
parent has been spotted by the Taliban and started
shooting. Yasmine ran out onto the street looking for her
parents. Now her parent had been shot only twice but
there was some American soldiers passing by to help.

few words to say to her parent “I will find Tamanna
