Lucky by chance
Fadi faces many adversities. In the beginning of the story, Fadi and his family runaway out of Afghanistan. Before it was time to run, Miriam asked Fadi to put her doll in his backpack. Fadi said no. Before Marium and Fadi reached the car, Marium drops her doll, and Fadi accidently lets go of her hand. Since he didn’t put Mariums doll in his backpack, because of that, he left Marium back in Afghanistan. Since he did leave Marium back, Fadi’s family had to get money to try to get Marium back. When Fadi saw an opportunity at his school in his photography club, he took that chance. The only problem was that he had to pay 50 dollars. If he did put the doll in his backpack, Fadi’s family would not have to go through so much stress. Noor gave Fadi 50 dollars because she believed that Fadi could win the photography contest to win 2 tickets to India. In the end, Fadi didn't win. Luckily, someone took a photo of Pakistan and Fadi and his father saw Marium in it. Fadi’s father sent agents to get Marium back, and the family was once again reunited. In conclusion, if Fadi had just put the doll in his backpack, they wouldn't have left Marium, and they wouldn't have gone through all that stress.
