"This is the first time I've ever done this, but I put my arms around my sister. She feels as if she's all bones, and she's shaking. I don't know what to say. So we sit like that for a long, long time."
-Page 113
This quote caught my eye because it's really strange to me. Have Aisha and Nadira really never given each other a hug before? Even when they were really little? I mean, seriously, what siblings never ever hug each other? I fight with my brother A TON but we still give each other hugs sometimes. I thought that it was pretty mature of Nadira to take a step in the right direction and help Aisha, especially when she's falling apart like this. I think that Aisha is really completely going to lose it soon and Nadira really needs to be there for her or else Aisha could really fall into depression and that could pose some serious problems. I really think this was a step in the right direction and a step towards bringing the sisters closer together.

Nice work! It is so weird that they have never given each other a hug...that's just, strange. I think that this might be Aisha's lowest, or maybe she might even go lower! Then Nadira really needs to be there fore her. I agree with you, it was super mature of Nadira to take a step in the right direction. Nice work Samara!
