"After she's crawled under the covers, she keeps talking in the dark, rehearsing who she wants to be the next day."
-page 24

This was really interesting because before I read this, I thought that Aisha was super self-c0nfident and knew exactly who she was and wanted to be. After reading this, however, I feel that Aisha might just be smart in book knowledge and not really feel secure about who she really is. In another part of the chapter it says that Aisha wanted to wear the same clothes and talk the same way as the American kids in school. I think that Nadira definately has more personality than Aisha in the sense that she knows who she is, even if she does have a negative view of herself. I think that Aisha may be smart about memorizing like a robot things but doesn't really know he she wants to be.
