“Everybody leans on everybody in this family”. What does Parvana mean by this? Would you say this is true in your own family? How could you be a better support for family and/or friends?

In my opinion, Parvana means by "Everybody leans on everybody in this family" is that everyone in the family needs help from each other because they've been stuck in one tiny room for a year and a half. This is not true in my family because we have lots of room in our house. But I could be a better support to my family/friends by helping them when they need it.

I think Parvana means by "Everybody leans on everybody in this family." is if someone needs a helping hand there is always someone you can go to that you know someone has you back. It is like everyone is there for each other. In my family I think this is very true because I always know if I need to talk or if I'm hurt I can go to my mom,dad or little sister. And I will always be there for them too because they are my family.I could be a better support by maybe being more open. Like sharing my opinion with my friends and family. I like to keep my feelings hidden so I think I could share…

I think Parvana means that, "Everybody leans on everybody in this family." like how Nooria is relying on Parvana to get their family food. How Parvana relied on Nooria to help her to the washroom. In my family, I would say this is true because I depend on my family to get me food and put a roof over my head. I could be a better support to my family by taking initiative like emptying the dishwasher or folding the laundry when it needs to be done. I could be a better support to my friends by comforting them when they are sad or calming them down when they are angry.

Parvana means that they all have to support each other and all have their roles and jobs to do. I would say that it is true in my family but not to Parvana's family's extent because we also have our own jobs to do around the house and during the day/night but mostly our family is supported by my parents. I could be a better support for my family/friends by just doing the basics like being nice and following instructions and being a good leader but always do that.
