Farah Ahmedi Short Story

Through this inconvenient situation, they find themselves stranded in the desert. According to Farah Ahmedi’s memoir on pg. 11 (The Other Side of the Sky), “The gate to Pakistan was closed… Where would we stay? There was nothing here, no town, no hotel, no buildings, just the desert.” Soon enough, Farah Ahmedi spots the solution to the situation which is to bribe the guards with money. Unfortunately, Farah and her mother didn’t have the money, but luckily they find another helping and compassionate family that offers help to them. This generous family tells them a secret about a goat path that leads to Pakistan which smugglers use too. Based on Farah Ahmedi’s memoir on pg. 12 (The Other Side of the Sky), “The woman told us that her husband, Ghulam Ali, had gone to look for another way across the border. He was checking out a goat path that supposedly went over the mountains several miles northeast of the border station.” The next day, they set out for the goat path. The climb was long and exhausting including with Farah Ahmedi’s mother, which had an asthma attack which took longer and her prosthetic leg, but they preserved. Farah Ahmedi’s determination and the will to survive brought/lead to her success. Farah Ahmedi finds out that even in a grave situation, there are still kind people like Ghulam Ali. Ghulam Ali gave Farah Ahmedi a chance of survival and gave

In the text it states “ People were pushing and shoving and jostling up against that gate”. They had met a nice family that was going to help cross the border. Accoing in the text it says “You can go with us” the women said.” What Farah Ahmedi had learned is that not all strangers are rude that some are nice what she said was that she was not tired at all walking with a prosthetic leg this is what Farah Ahmedi had learned when she crossed the Pakistan border

In my personal life I have displayed the quality of determination. During my young adolescent years I was the victim of bullying. Not only did I receive this unfair treatment from my fellow students, but I also received it from an unexpected source- a teacher. After three years of harassment, things finally improved. I went to high school and learned how to defend myself. I gained my self- confidence back and was able to use my experience to help others. During my sophomore year in high-school, I helped launch two clubs. One club was for a free Tibet and the other to help stop bullying in our school and area. Being determined helped me move on from what happened to me and I was able to turn it into something positive that could help others.

Being determined will help one overcome adversity.Take for example Jim Abbott, who was born without a right hand.He played baseball which put him at disadvantage , but with the help of his parents and coaches.“"It was my parents, my coaches and teachers, literally pulling me to the side and saying you can do

A necessity of Farah Ahmedi was to climb a mountain to flee into another country where she and her mother could be safe and lead a better life. This is displayed when, “Ahmedi and her mother decide to flee their home in Kabul in search of a better life (Introduction). This shows that they were trying to escape their home country as a result of the war there so they could get somewhere where they could be safe. Moreover, they actually made it over a mountain to enter into to Pakistan. Ahmedi questions, “How did I scale that mountain so easily? How did I climb down the other side (Ahmedi 12)? This is when she made it over the mountain. Most importantly, Farah Ahmedi learned an important lesson, “You never know when and where you may encounter a spot of human decency”(Introduction). When Ghulam Ali was so generous and kind to her and

What drives us to undertake a mission? A difficult journey can have fear, danger, and taking risks. What makes a character overcome a mission? The three attributes that can drive us to undertake a mission are loyalty, determination, or instinct.

With Fara’s loss of a leg, it seemed almost impossible to get out of Afghanistan and into Pakistan. But so desperate to cross the border, they risked their health, especially Fara’s mother’s. “Her asthma was pretty bad at this point, poor thing,” (Ahmedi 11). This text shows that Fara’s mother’s health was not the best at the time and she could have gotten sick. “Because of her, we had to pause every few minutes, so our journey took many hours,” (Ahmedi 11). This shows that her mother was slowing them down because of her poor health.

Farah Ahmedi and her mom The Other Side of the Sky were on a journey to get to Pakistan from Afghanistan in search for a better life. However, once they got to the border gate, Farah realized, “The gate to Pakistan was closed, and I could see the Pakistan border guards were letting no one through” (Ahmedi para. 1). There was no way Farah and her mom could get through the gate to Pakistan easily and it would be difficult for them to find another way. Nonetheless, Ahmedi was persistence and found another way to Pakistan, over a mountain, with the help of a friend Ghulam Ali. Farah was courageous and agreed to try the other way to Pakistan. While Farah was on her around a mountain her mom’s “asthma was pretty bad at this point, poor thing. No doubt, her anxiety made it worse” (Ahmedi par.11). Farah and her mom went through many hardships to make it to Pakistan. With Farah’s great

Determination does not always have to do with the mind. Determination can be overcoming a disability. Farah has a disability that prevent her from walking normally she struggles to walk but somehow she has the willpower to accomplish her way to freedom even if it meant she had to fight against the crowd. As stated, “…By the third one, however, I saw what we needed to do, and taking my mother by my arm, I showed and pushed with the others until we made it to the door of the van…”(311). Farah crealy had a disability and yet she took up the grat obstacle of fihting against people faster and porbally shealtheri than them. She was able to win against all those people because she was detrimined to get in the van with her mother.

Determination is a driving force. For me, the determination to succeed has been my greatest ambition. I have strove to push my limits; to surpass even own my expectations. My determination to succeed has been the leading factor in everything I do for the larger portion of my life. I was determined to pass high school with fantastic grades. I was determined to ace every test and every paper. I was determined to get accepted into Arkansas State University. I am determined to become a doctor and help others. I am determined to be something bigger; to have something much greater.

Why is it that there are certain individuals who possess the ambition and courage to achieve almost impossible missions while other people struggle to set a goal? For example Farah Ahmedi wanted to escape a war torn country, afghanistan, to Pakistan. On her way she finds a very nice man who helps her cross the border on a secret path. Annie Johnson wants to start making money for her family by making her own path in life. She sells food to factory workers and in the end she is very successful. These are the things that make people strive for their goals.

In life we encounter trials and tribulations that cause us to become stressed, bitter, depressed, and sometimes, on the verge of giving up. We may even want to give up a dream that we have worked our entire lives to accomplish. These difficulties can seem as if they are holding us back when they are actually building us into the people that we will aspire to be. Life can sometimes be full of large obstacles, but with persistence and ambitious minds, we can exceed our own expectations. By learning to overcome these obstacles we can learn to grow and thrive. In order to do this, I believe, persistence and hard work is crucial.

Farah Ahmedi, Wade Watts, and Buck, had all been determined characters. Buck had been thrown into the wild, Wade had nearly been killed, and Farah had to escape from her war-torn city. The need to survive had overcome them all. However, all three had been determined and willing to prevail even after being thrown into a tough situation against their own will. Farah Ahmedi had wanted to get away from the war-torn city of Afghanistan because she and her mother were searching for a better life.

Ahmed came to USA to make more money and he doesn’t know where to stay at. He doesn’t know how to speak English but he didn’t give up on his dream to become successful person. He experienced a lot of obstacles while finding his first job in USA. Ahmed showed imagery when he described the rice and curry which he ate at that restaurant. His use of imagery here was very effective, because it showed that there aren’t many people from Pakistan live in America. One of the theme that I found is that he was determined to become successful while he was facing a lot of problems. Ahmed did used word “Uh” more than one time while he was telling that story. The most important idea that shared in the story is when Ahmed experienced a lot of obstacles to
