1) This section told the stories of Sultan's two sisters and how they finally got married even though it was at a very late age for Afghan women. It also covered a lot of the restrictions on women in the chapters "No Admission to Heaven" and "Billowing, Fluttering, Winding."
2) The way this section was written clearly showed the authors opinion on the restrictions of women. It started off by describing how important it was to Bibi Gul and Shakila that Shakila be able to continue her schooling and work but then shifted to how when the Taliban came and implemented all of the new restrictions, none of it was allowed anymore. The restrictions on women had become her focus and she made her opinion very well known. Only calling the women in the market "burka's" until they showed their face showed that she feels that these women don't have a name or an identity when they have the burka on because they are forced to hide who they are from the world.
