End of Iran Awakening

I found the arrest of Shirin to be a particularly interesting part of the book. I was amazed that she figured out that how to predict who would be arrested and when the arrest would occur. Shirin also discussed how her daughter wanted to go to school in Canada. I was surprised that Shirin was considering it since she seemed so adamant about people staying in Iran and not leaving. But when I thought about it further, I think it is because she wants her daughter to have every opportunity available to her. I also think that she is afraid for her daughter's safety in Iran and is trying to protect her from doing some of the things that she did. If Shirin's daughter was arrested she would be treated far worse than someone else because of her political position. She always tried to keep her daughters from protesting and partaking in politics to protect them. I think that Shirin feels that if her daughter were to stay in Iran she would be like her and stand up to the government and end up in jail. Also, there are not many opportunities for women to get a hirer education and become successful. So in order to give her more opportunities to be herself. Shirin is considering letting her daughter go to Canada for school.
