Long Answer
1. Answers may vary. Some instances could be how Amira feels “bright” and able to fly with Dando, the fact that she overhears Dando agreeing with Old Anwar that she is special, and/or the special game of “What Else Is Possible?” that she and Dando play.
2. Answers may vary. One instance is when Amira draws the scene of the Janjaweed attack and Dando’s death, upon which she hears her own muffled cry, preparing to speak. A second instance is when Gamal sketches himself crying and reaching out to his dead parents in the sky, which Amira describes as a beautiful way to grieve.
