1. What is the deal that Nasir made with Jihha?
Jihha agrees to teach Nasir “the ropes” of being a merchant because Nasir wants to learn what Jihha knows. Also, Nasir wants to find something like rosewater to sell and make a bunch of money. Nasir’s idea to find something that everyone must have, they just don’t know it yet leads Jihha to believe he can make a lot of money by financially backing Nasir up. Jihha see's potential in Nasir, and he is ready to heavily to invest in him.
2. Based on what you've read thus far, make an inference on what you think might happen with Nasir in Part 2?
I think after going through much hardship Buran will gain a little bit, but then a catastrophe will happen. their'll be setback, and it will leave Buran stronger than ever.

A. What's reavelead is she is intellegent. which is very hard to come by in that part of the world at that time. I say this because it was a very traditional norm and custom for the women to be illiterate, unintelligent housewives. Now we know that Buran has wits and intellect.
3) Who is Gindar?
A- Gindar the cheif is the leader of the camel caravan across the dessert
4. “ A man on my caravan will tell you as much about himself as he wants you to know.” P. What does this foreshadow?
A. this foreshadows the art of secrecy. Now Buran/ Nasir will have to be very seceretive about her identity is she wants to make this work. otherwise this plan could go down the toilet.

5. Coming of Age: Read the first full paragraph on p. 40 ( A bend in the suq…..) and explain how this paragraphs shows coming of age?
A coming-of-age story or novel is memorable because the character undergoes adventures and/or inner turmoil in his/her growth and development as a human being. Some characters come to grips with the reality of cruelty in the world--with war, violence, death, racism, and hatred--while others deal with family, friends, or community issues. ( from: http://classiclit.about.com)
“It would be better to attempt to cross the desert by myself and die on the journey, my bones picked clean by vultures and left to bleach in the sun then go back home.” Why is Nasir saying this?
A- because determination is an excellent value to keep, it also shows persistant, and how badly YOU want to reach that goal. Nasir has in fact been humuiliated, and to not dissapoint her father she must keep to her goal.
