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.
