- FAVORITE QUOTE in AMAL UNBOUND by Aisha Saeed
- Amal makes many courageous choices throughout the course of the novel, from standing up to Jawad Sahib after he hits her with his car, to her final act of resistance in giving crucial information to her teacher so that Jawad Sahib will be arrested. She risks herself and her family to bring him to justice. She tells her teacher that she is acting because she doesn't have a choice. He reminds her that her actions are a choice, even if she is scared. She chooses to act because she knows that to stay silent would be wrong, despite the risks to herself. That is true courage.
- "You always have a choice. Making choices even when they scare you because you know it's the right thing to do - that's bravery."
- “I'm not brave, I'm terrified. I just don't have a choice.”
