Mrs. Weera gives Parvana hope that not all is lost. She reminds Parvana that the family does have friends in the world, if only they’re willing to look for them. And further, Mrs. Weera seems very in tune with how to manage the tense relationship between Parvana and Nooria. She understands that it’s essential to thank Parvana for her hard work by getting her water as soon as possible—and Nooria’s mean scolding isn’t going to help morale at home. Rather, if the family intends to get through this, they’ll need to find healthier and kinder ways to communicate with each other.
