Living on the Street

Here is a fantastic slideshow video. Though I'm not sure the name of the video does that great a job of explaining it, it certainly brings to life a few aspects of Under the Persimmon Tree that I found a bit hard to imagine. First, it shows many pictures of Afghan women wearing burquas and just what that looks like. More importantly though it shows what it looks like when those women are forced to live of the street. Throughout the book there is a lot of talk of women being forced to live on the streets and how they would beg or hold their children, this could be a great illustration of just what it looked like for real women or refugees to have to go through such a hard time.
