In the book Kamila shows how she has to accept the fact the there were a lot of things changing. (Pg-38) " Kamila did not want to weep as she bid her father goodbye the next morning" this show great emotions to her problems because even as much as she want to cry she knew she had to stay strong for her sisters and mother.
