HW Mr. Padilla 3.10.16


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

Collections: Reading Lolita in Tehran

About Sanaz, continued from yesterday’s reading.

*If she gets on a bus, the seating is segregated.  She must enter through the rear door and sit in the back seats, allocated to women. Yet in Taxis, which accept as many as five passengers, men and women are squeezed together like sardines, as the saying goes, and the same goes with minibuses, where so many of my students complain of being harassed by bearded and God-fearing men. ..How much of this experience affect her? Most probably, she tries to distance her mind as much as possible from her surroundings.
