"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?

This is a beautiful blue bukhara carpet. Only a very skilled and diligent weaver can produce this rare carpet. in our novel, we learn how Iqbal weaved this carpet all by himself, however, right before it was going to be sold by Hussain Khan he Iqbal did something very surprising to this exquisite piece of art. Explain both what he did and why you think he did it.
