Her Veil

After reading the book: Reading Lolita in Tehran, through the eyes of an American, I realized the great lengths of Azar Nafisi's restriction and exile. I wonder however, how this would look in the eyes of an ardent Iranian...possibly inhumane? As it did, because her betrayal of Iranian culture, and refusal to wear a veil in the classroom dismayed and horrified others, and her exile from teaching was her lesson learned. I can't imagine being restricted to wearing certain clothes, or being a certain way, which is a very American belief, Nafisi risked her life, and the lives of those young girl to teach them classic western literature. Her exile remains in this secretive life she endures, and her exile from her former University. Disgrace in the Iranian culture: her request that she does not wear a veil while teaching seems so minor, because in America death has to occur before anybody does anything. (Embellished to make a point). Nafisi's courage and ultimate refusal of her veil, exiled her.
