section 2 of IR

Azadeh was born in California. This book is talking about Azadeh's past. She already lived in Tehran where she was a reporter. When she came back she realized how much she appreciates her freedom. Her family stays very close to the Iranian culture. Iranians are not fond of Americans because of the Iranian revolution. Azadeh's grandparents were the ones to come over to San jose. Reading Azadeh's thoughts on how she precieves everything seems like she takes it too much to heart and she puts too much effort into it. "Asay-e dast-e mani, you are my hand's cane" was what her grandmother said to her. Azadeh takes bigger responsibilities than she has to.
