Shirin doesn't think before doing, she is very impulsive which i also driven by innocence. During the iranian revolution impulsivity can get you killed. IN the novel Sofer writes “She takes a file randomly, and tucks it under her long coat of her uniform , then quickly places the hats and scarves back in the closet” (Sofer, 95). More so, Shirin's extemporaneous decisions could've gotten her family into an even worse situation, but she isn't even 10 yet so she didn't stop and think about what she was doing. Nevertheless, she is impulsive and this connects to innocence and the reason she took the files in the first place.
