A quote from chapter five that I thought was really great is "Sometimes I wish I could lift out of myself and do something that really counts." This is the last sentence of the chapter, and I personally can sense a little foreshadowing in it. It seems like Nadira really wants to do something that "counts", but can't bring herself to do it becuase perhaps she feels uncomfortible stepping up and speaking her mind. I think she sees Aisha as the person who speaks up in the family, and she is the one who shrinks away from the spotlight. I think that something will happen to Aisha or someone in her family, and Nadira will have to step in and save them, even if she seriously doubts herself.
