HW Mr. Padilla 3-11-16


Homework:

Parents/ guardians, please assist your child with today’s homework.

Today’s topic was oppression. What are some ways that a government can oppress people.

*…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.



Option 2: Base on today’s lesson discussion and reading,

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.
In Of Mice and Men, George and Lenny are oppressed.

Choose one or more of these characters and compare them to Marjane or Sanaz. How are they similar and different?


Option 3: Base on today’s lesson discussion and reading,

Why could Sanaz be angry?

What has happened in the last two decades?

 How are women being treated?
