Carl Hoffman was in Kabul, Afghanistan. I think the scariest place on earth. Carl Hoffman wants to go to countries which were undeveloped but I think Afghanistan was not just undeveloped, it was the scariest to live on. He was risking his life by staying in Afghanistan and special in that part which was a really bad area. He went to Kabul. Kabul is the capital of Afghanistan and also the largest city in Afghanistan. Kabul is the city in which tourists can’t come alone on the streets. It is very dangerous at night. On page 221, Carl Hoffman noted that how scary it was at the airport at night in Kabul.
In this chapter, Carl Hoffman has written so many times that people were carrying Ak’s. This is really scary. I would never live there where you have to think twice even if you want to leave your room. I hope that government of Afghanistan put some more security in their country because as Carl Hoffman written

Khalid story was so sad that the Taliban 's stopped his mother and sister because her sister was not wearing the burqa and they didn 't care about the public and they beat her with the flagpole. This is just not so fair with them. That was really rude and disrespectful to them. They were ladies and they should be treated with respect and love. Khalid’s story was also sad that he has to go to the jail because for not having the beard. People in Afghanistan are so cruel and they don hearts and also they don 't know how to behave with other people.
On page 235, Khalid shares his love story to Carl Hoffman. I would also say that, just like him, we brown people can have the relationship but we cannot let our parents know about it and especially on the girl home because they will beat the girl and they can harm the boy too. This is so sad but we brown people have one mentality that before marriage we cannot have any kind of relationship with anyone. This is a very strict rule of every brown kid and especially these girls have the restrictions for
(TS) Staples uses the nonfiction topic of American Involvement in Afghanistan to describe character change in both Najmah and Nusrat. (MIP-1) Americans in Afghanistan have bombed villages to push the Taliban away, but this affects many, including Najmah and her family.

Why Women should be allowed to go outside freely in Kabul On September 27,1996, the Taliban took over Kabul, Afghanistan. Ever since then, women are not allowed to go outside without a burqa whereas men could just go outside without a specific dress code. The Taliban believes that Women should not be allowed to go outside without a burqa.
I was at a soccer game in Ghazi Stadium in 1998 . . . and by the way, the players weren’t allowed to wear shorts . . . Anyway, Kabul scored a goal and the man next to me cheered loudly. Suddenly this young bearded fellow who was patrolling the aisles, eighteen years old at most by the look of him, he walked up to me and struck me on the forehead with the butt of his Kalashnikov’” (Hosseini 199).
Hosseini shows us how the Afghani culture and Amir’s reluctance to help
I lifted Hassan's mattress and planted my new watch and a handful of Afghani bills under it. I waited another thirty minutes. Then I knocked on Baba's door and told what I hoped would be the last in a long line of shameful lies.” (Hosseini 104). Sometimes people do one wicked
Afghanistan is a country full of social expectations and boundaries influenced by both class and ethnicity. Amir and Hassan come from polar opposite social backgrounds: Amir, a wealthy member of the dominant Pashtuns, and Hassan, a child servant to Amir and member of the minority Hazaras. Yet, as young children, it seems as though this difference is a mere annoyance rather than a serious blockade to their friendship. This all changes, though, when Amir makes a split second decision, a decision shaped by his unconscious desire to uphold their class difference. Hassan does everything for Amir, most specifically, he runs his kites, and when the town bully wants to steal that kite, Hassan resists even in the face of unspeakable violence.
COP Keating was established in a remote location near the town of Kamdesh of Nuristan province in North Eastern Afghanistan approximately 25 km from the Pakistan border along the only improved dirt road in the Kamdesh District. OP Fritsche was established 2.2 Km straight line distance to the southeast, non-line of sight with an elevation difference of 2150 ft. from Keating. The COP was surrounded by extremely rugged, mountainous high ground and is positioned to interdict historic trafficking routes to and from Pakistan. We arrived in Country in June, and the temperature was already ranging between 110 to 115 degrees in Jalalabad.
Everyone has felt like an outsider sometime in their life whether they like it or not. One time I felt like an outsider when all my friends were talking about how they had such a great time together one weekend, sorrowfully, I couldn’t relate because I wasn’t invited. The Malala article, The Kite Runner novel, and the “To This Day” video clip shows how making someone feel like an outsider has lasting consequences that impacts others through bullying, culture, and gender discrimination. Throughout the sources bullying is used to make others feel like an outsider.
The Taliban have full control of the country and how the country is run. This is a prime example on how the country of Afghanistan is corrupt. Around the world murder is an injustice but in Afghanistan it is
The women of Afghanistan are modernly known for the restrictions and rules that they live by in today’s day and age. However, this wasn’t always how they use to live. Ages before the Taliban and the Soviet Occupation, Afghan women lived normal and free lives compared to today. People often do not believe this due to lack of knowledge of the women from this country and of this culture, myself included. After reading and analyzing literature including A Woman Among Warlords, A Bed of Red Flowers and the document text Afghanistan: An Oxfam Country Profile, we can see how they conditions that the women of Afghanistan has changed for the worst.
Civil Disobedience in Afghanistan Imagine a world where having an education is strictly forbidden and leisurely walking down the street can be extremely dangerous. In Afghanistan, this world is the reality for many people on a daily basis as they are putting up with the repressive Taliban government. The Taliban rose to power in the 1990s as extremist, therefore those who tried to speak out against their corrupt doings were suppressed by violent means. In heavy Taliban controlled areas, more women than men are discriminated against as they are severely dominated. Women such as Malala Yousafzai, suffered from the ruthless acts of their government but never buckled under the weight by protesting wit peaceful demonstrations.
he goes on to say it just shows how much afghanistan has changed and how much more of a hostile environment it has became. He continues that statement and closing with “ Things have become more violent. It’s a more dangerous place than it was. It has slid back and there’s a new element of criminality and violence there.” The next question he is asked is “Would you have advocated cutting the scene to protect the children?”
