Quote: Chapter 11 (page 101)

"It's weird. Now it's me who feels older than Aisha and is worried about her. Now that I've helped Lily, it's like I want to protect everyone: Auntie from Uncle and the bad news about his possible deportation, Uncle from himself, and Aisha from taking everything so hard." I liked this quote in particular because I felt that Nadira was finally getting the chance to be in control and then that led to her judging herself. However, this time, she wasn't judging against someone like Aisha, she was just judging herself. I think that this was a time for her to reflect on herself and see what she has done in her life that was good and what she wanted never to do again.
