Answer:
Parvana's opposite thoughts in the second paragraph is that she saw that her mother wasn't ready to give in yet.
The evidence that supports my answer is: "<em>But that didn't mean she was ready to give in</em>."
Explanation:
From the passage, it is revealed that when Parvana woke up, she saw that her mother looked much better. This shows that the discussion the mother was having with Mrs. Weera helped to brighten her up.

The author of this poem, Sarojini Naidu (1879 - 1946), came from a culture where women were to receive a different treatment from men. Women's freedom was taken away with the excuse of protecting them from "eyes impure". If their bodies and faces, their beauty and youth cannot be seen, then they will not be coveted. However, such a way of "protecting" has its own way of harming those involved. It does not "shield a woman's eyes from tears". It does not protect their feelings, does not take their wishes into consideration. It only limits their lives, their abilities, their happiness.
