- When you work hard, you will not be disappointed is a theme because it tells you that when you persevere, anything can happen. The Bread Winner has this theme because Parvana worked hard throughout this book and was never disappointed. When Parvana dug up bones, she was immpressed by the money that she made (Ellis 99).
- The social issue in this book is that girls are being mistreated (Ellis 16). Girls are not even able to leave the house without a man (Ellis 17). This is not acceptable because people should be treated equally.
- The presents in the book from the lady in the window, represent a glimmer of hope in her bad days (Ellis 85). The gifts always appear in times of struggle, like the time when Parvana thought that she found her father, but it was a stranger (Ellis 85).
