Parvana accompanies her father to his job because the Taliban has restricted women from being in public spaces alone, and they fear for her safety. By posing as a boy, Parvana can help support her family by running errands and helping her father in his work.
Parvana's father before his arrest was a teacher in "The Breadwinner" by Deborah Ellis. He provided for their family by conducting lessons at home and writing and creating books. He encouraged his daughter Parvana to be brave and independent.
Parvana's father is in his late 40s.
In Chapter one. Parvana goes to the prison to get father out of jail. And the worst part was she hears father's snoring.
Parvana sells stuff (dressed like a boy) OR when shes with her father she just sits on a blanket.
because Parvana's mother won't make Nooria(Parvana's older sister) go to Marza by herself. And Parvana said she doesn't want to go to Mazar with them, She wants to wait her father out of prison in kabul.
one of fahers last qoutes to parvana as he was taken away by the taliban were "take care of everyone my little malali" father refers to parvana as malali because malali was a great female warrior and showed a lot of strenght as well as determination and this bears a resembelance to parvana's qualities as a person. :) hi
Parvana runs from the village after her father is arrested by the Taliban. She feels the need to disguise herself as a boy in order to support her family and try to find a way to rescue her father.

Yes, in the book "The Breadwinner" by Deborah Ellis, Parvana's father is killed by a landmine while trying to earn money for his family.
They didn't. Father got out just before Nooria's marriage was announced.
