"We crowded in front of her loom. In the middle of the carpet, instead of simple read and yellow stripes, there was now a picture. It was of a kite.  A big, white kite, with long plumes tied to the tail.  They seemed to be fluttering in the wind, and there was a thin string that hung from the kite and bits of white that were clouds.  It was beautiful." (pg64)

Why did Ali weave a kite into her carpet design?
