Olivia: Come Back to Afghanistan

Here is something I learned from the book. Said is a title, like Dr. or Prof. and it means descended from Mohammed. Evidently names that look like a first and last name to us are one whole name. When Afghans move to the US their names are AMericanized. So Said Hyder Akbar is not his name in Afghanistan. Actually who knows what happens when they move back to Afghanistan. I will show a photo of the governor of Kunar whom I think is Hyder Akbar's father, even though the name is somewhat different.
Why not put your name in the title bar, so we can see who we are listening to before we get to the end of the blog. Fine entries. I appreciate seeing what your interests are as I get ready for the next class. Bring the book on Wednesday, for our last chance to discuss it.
