¨...Rasheed was still trying the radio as Mariam made rice with spinach sauce in the kitchen.¨(Hosseini ,100)
This is a way of showing that women didn´t have any control. Mariam was just cooking and Rasheed expects her to do everything for him.
¨...did not mind that their wives walked among strangers with makeup on their faces and nothing on their heads.¨ (Hosseini, 75) .

¨When the worst of it had passed, she went across the hallway to Mammy´s door and knocked.¨ (Hosseini , 119)
Laila was going through things and when it was all over she just went and did what she was scared of doing, which was knocking on Mammy´s door. Me and my siblings were the same way when we knew we were in trouble.

quotes and reflections
¨The brief and interminable time of feeling suspended. The not knowing. The waiting. Like a defendant about to hear the verdict.¨ (Hosseini 173)
They were scared and nervous. They were at the dinner table and while they were there they constantly felt like they were being judged or about to get in trouble.
¨Like ripping off a band aid in one stroke, Laila thought.¨ (Hosseini 191)
Mammy was getting rid of some things and Laila picked up her wedding dress and asked Mammy if she was getting rid of it. Mammy just shrugged her shoulders and threw it away. Laila thought that was difficult and it hurt her.
