It was then March of 1981 and Amir and Baba had their suitcases and were, “cramped with these strangers in the tarpaulin-covered cab of an old Russian truck” (Hoseini…
Luckily, Malala lives in today’s times so she has far more advanced technology at her disposal than they did in the early 1900’s. It is likely that the breaker boys were put into their unfortunate circumstance for so long without anyone fighting against it because they did not have the technology to properly inform people of the true dangers they were putting the children in.

However, despite the differences in imagery, these countries are far more different than it seems. Most notably,…
