Aisha

"But Aisha is already in Mr. Rashid's office-he's there, laughing, holding up his palms. 

'The boat can't wait for the tide, nah?' he asks in Bangla."

Ch. 8 page 63

The entire section of the book that surrounds this quote interested me, but I picked this one because I think that what Mr. Rashid says about Aisha really sums her up. If she wants something, she'll go for it, and she won't stop until she has it. She feels like she doesn't need anyone or anything to get what she wants. I think that this book has formed a bit of  mis-understanding of Aisha. I actually really like her personality. She's strong, and independent. I like how she is trying to deal with this situation. I can hear her voice. I like her.
