My experience on writing this essay was to say the least simple. This was one of the easiest to wright upon, not because it was it was simple to read, but because it was the most interesting for me to read. Aside from remembering the names, I don't think I had to use the book much at all. Over time I started realizing a lot more about the story as well. At first I did not realize the differences in social classes between the two main characters, as soon as I remembered that, I realized a lot more about the story. I think the strengths about my essay would be about how it mainly focuses on their social classes and the way it affects their lives in the past and future. I think a weakness would be that It gets confusing keeping up with their names and knowing who is who.
This essay might matter to me because, well it affects my grade. But also because it is supposed to give an understanding of what the book is supposed to be about. That might answer why it would matter to others and the world as well, if it isn't easy to follow through, then I've failed to give an understanding to others about what the book tells and what it could mean to them and the world.

This book matters to me really only because I was assigned to read it. As negative as that sounds, it was actually a great book in my opinion. It kept me reading and every page made me keep flipping the page. It did give me a very good insight on social classes and how similar they could be around the world. It does not matter what country you are in, there will always inevitably be someone looking down upon someone. I think this book would matter to someone else who is trying to look into something like that, and also a good story plot. It gives great examples of what social classes can do and what happens with them, if someone is trying to see the differences and similarities in social classes around the world and in different cultures, I think this book would definitely matter to them. I think this book might matter to the world because of the same reason stated about, it gives great insight on the similarities and differences on social classes in different parts of the world can affect those living in them.

What surprised me the most was that she wouldn't want any friends and that Syrian people are depressed. I knew things were bad with them based on their experiences but I didn't think it'd be like that. I felt bad when she stated these things. My perspectives have changed with what she stated about how Syrians feel sad a lot, it's understandable but still changed the way I see things for them. I don't think I would pursue into learning more about this sort of topic, although very interesting, I just wouldn't simply because I wouldn't know what more to learn. Some people rebuild their lives after displacement with just moving on and living with what they have left. This is definitely something I would bring uo if this topic ever pops up in a conversation with someone else, since it's first person information from a refugee.

This folktale, named The Wicked Witch, was originated in Turkey. A summary of the story is there was a family. A father, who was a merchant, a wife, and a daughter. The merchant and the wife were going out of town, and so they left the daughter home and hired a servant as a babysitter. The night the merchant and the wife had left, the daughter and the babysitter were dancing. The babysitter knocked over their oil lamp, which had left them in the darkness. The babysitter told the merchant's daughter not to worry, and that she would go out and get another oil lamp. They made a rope and the babysitter used it to climb out the building. As she went looking, she came across a restaurant, as she walked in she saw a man. He was the owner of the restaurant, he was attracted by the bueaty of the babysitter and welcomed her.

Our book, Persepolis was based in Syria. It was about a little girl named Marjane and her journey through life and the ongoing issues in her home country. There were some things about her culture I had already know, like the wearing of burkas, and different celebrations in the different times of years. They did not celebrate some holidays like we do in the United States, such as Christmas, Easter, or Halloween. When she was younger, a lot of changes occured. She was not allowed in school anymore, and most of her friends had fled the country, so all she had was her family. Her home country eventually got so bad she was sent off out of the country, but without her family. She stayed alone for years, but kept contact with her family here and there. Historical events were about everywhere in this book, like the attacks from other countries and putting Syria in war. The revolution in her country, and the leaders of it. This book matters to me because, well I sort of had to read it for a grade, and it gives me an in depth description of what it was like living around this time based on her actual experience. This book could matter to the people around me and around the world for same reason, to understand what it's like living in this sort of environment and era.

I didn't ever finish this assignment, therefore I have little information on the interview section. Who I was supposed to interview was a former graduate from Veritas High, Hiba Mousa. Although I didn't ever get far enough to interview her about her culture, we were good friends my first year at Veritas. She is from Palestine and she can speak some arabic. This says that the language her parents spoke or learned from is arabic. Her family's religion wasn't one I had known, but I am sure it fell under Christianity, as the capital of Palestine is East Jerusalem. Her mother did wear a burka, as it was part of their religion, she did not though. I know around some time in the year her family does not eat red meat, which I believe is associated with their religion

I was under the impression that we were not mandated to incorporate our world region into our fictional story, so my story doesn't have anything to do with it. This story doesn't matter to me much aside from the fact that I just copied a continuing problem from my life into it, I could've gone a bit deeper but I had a word count limit. It wouldn't have matter much to others, or the world.

"When I am overcome with weakness, I bandage my heart with a woman’s patience in adversity. I bandage it with the upright posture of a Syrian woman who is not bent by bereavement, poverty, or displacement as she rises from the banquets of death and carries on shepherding life’s rituals. She prepares for a creeping, ravenous winter and gathers the heavy firewood branches, stick by stick from the frigid wilderness. She does not cut a tree, does not steal, does not surrender her soul to weariness, does not ask anyone’s charity, does not fold with the load, and does not yield midway."
I don't know how this poem could mean much to me, aside from the whole moral lesson being to never give up. Although this poem can mean a lot more to others that might be going through a tough struggle in their life. It can teach them that despite maybe feeling tied down that they can overcome anything if they try.

This book was difficult to read through. Not because it was too much, but it was hard to figure out how it correlated our world region. The book was about Sharhzad getting revenge on the King for killing her friend. But over time, they both fall in love with each other. The only thing that we could say represented their culture was their wardrobe and where the book was taken place, which was Persia.
