Reading Lolita In Tehran by Azar Nafasi

 Option 3:                       

How can I create this other world outside this room? …We follow Sanaz down the stairs, out the door and into the street...She walks quickly and with a sense of determination (mind set on doing).  The streets of Tehran and other Iranian cities are patrolled by militia, who ride in white Toyota patrols, four gun-carrying men an women, sometimes followed by a minibus. They are called the Blood of God.  They patrol the streets to make sure women like Sanaz wear their veils properly, do not wear makeup, do not walk in public with men who are not their fathers, brothers, or husbands.
