*…Is she angry that women of her mother’s generation could
walk the streets freely, enjoy the company of the opposite sex, join the police
force, become pilots…? …
…In the course of nearly two decades, the streets have been
turned into a war zone, where young women who disobey the rules are hurled into
patrol cars, taken to jail, flogged, fined, forced to wash the toilets and
humiliated, and as soon as they leave, they go back and do the same thing. Is she aware, Sanz, of her own power?
Does she realize how dangerous she can be when her every stray gesture is a
disturbance to public safety?

Option 1: Base on today’s lesson discussion and reading:
What are some ways that governments can oppress people?
Mention some ways in which the Iranian government oppressed
people in the novel Persepolis and Reading Lolita in Tehran. Give examples from both books and from
other sources.

In the novel To Kill a Mocking Bird, Tom Robinson is
oppressed.
In Night, Eliezer is oppressed.
In The Absolutely True Story of a Part Time Indian, Junior
feels oppressed.

Choose one or more of these characters and compare them to

Why could Sanaz be angry?
What has happened in the last two decades?
