You may write on “The Garden of Forking Paths,” “Why I Live at the P. O,” or “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” Remember that in order to answer this question, you’ll first need to establish what the author’s style is (with evidence and specific terminology), but work well beyond that to explore what that style does. 5.

Furthermore, the author uses multiple examples such as Huckleberry Finn, stories from other countries, and even her own personal experience. The author uses the literary nonfiction genre point of view which is in first-person point of view. Point of view is the perspective from which a piece of writing is narrated. In the essay Nafisi, she used first-person point of view based on the story's tone, the narrator, and the meaning.

Written in a period when women were not allowed to even have a college education, Woman in the Nineteenth Century is based on the equal nature of man and woman derived from the divine love of God. To compensate the lack of education of women, she hosted meetings with other women in the Boston area to discuss and debate the real purpose of women in life and other topics such as mythology, philosophy, and fine arts.

Her grandfather says, “A good book always needed a good listener” (22), which inspires Zoli even at a young age to believe that written words are meant to be spoken for the world to hear. Zoli’s upbringing is relatively different to a typical life of a Romani girl. Zoli is emotionally scarred as a child with the death of her family and the struggles of always being on the move.
