Literary+Luminary+Week+1

I have noticed many interesting things in this book so far, the most interesting to me do far is the photographs. She uses the photographs to introduce the characters of the story and she also uses them to setup the story she is about to tell. The way that she describes each person in the pictures and there relation to each other as well as to there objective helps you to understand what you will be experiencing during the telling of the story. The most important part of this little section is the fact that there are two pictures ,one shows the group in there head scarves and the other shows them in there natural state (the way mother nature intended them to look) showing their different types of clothing and hair. The contrast of the photos is a warm up, a precursor to the way they live their lives, following the rules of the government outside, covering up there bodies, minds and true selves. Their real lives occur inside the protective walls of Azar Nafisi's apartment, where they are free to do as they please.
