Thinking Within a Thinking

For my First Formal Paper, I am planning on writing about the events Marjane faces in her life and its consequences. I will also introduce how I, as a reader, can relate to her story. In addition to that, I found many points that I did not agree with, and I think this can be my chance to state them. Furthermore, I will be using the Reader Response theory to construct the paper. For example, Marjane was a rebellious child with a cause. The government created religious laws, such as enforcing the veil and beating the chest for the martyrs. The teachers, in effect, enforced those laws because they were forced to do so by the government. Many professors are sometimes forced by their leaders or employers to enforce basic ruling, whether they agree or not. Moreover, they cannot show their opinion because they do not want to influence their students. Likewise, Marjane’s principle and teachers may have been forced to enforce the veil or beating of the chest.  Because they had to follow and enforce the law, Marjane thought of them as authority, and therefore she started disrespecting them by saying things such as “how dare you lie to us like that?”  I do not think that she should have disrespected the teachers at all. At end of the day, they are the teachers, and if one does not agree with the teachings they are provideing, he or she should consider attending a school that agrees with his or her opinions. In my various classes, the professors have said many things regarding the veil. At times, I did not agree with what they had to say, but I never disrespected them because everyone has the right to their opinions. I will also write against the concept of the veil that Marjane presented and use the articles, provided by Ms. Knapp, for support.  What is more, I will also use my blog “Personal and Objective” for further analysis.
