Iran Awakening

I don't know where the weeks go here because I feel like I blog everyday, when clearly I only am once a week... I guess thats a good and bad thing. 

So after reading the first chapter of our latest book, Iran Awakening, I can already tell that the book is going to be the "Iran version" of Come Back to Afghanistan. By the "Iran version," I mean that the novel will be told by the prospective of a single person, in this case, by Shirin, and the entire book will be both reader-friendly, yet will contain a lot of cultural background information and typical traditions. So far, I am glad that we watched the film Persepolis because when I read the word "Shah," I already knew what the author was referring to. I am most interested in learning about Iran so that I can have a background with the United State's relationship with the country itself. The only involvement I currently am aware of include the Iran Hostage Crisis and something to do with Iran having a surplus of foreign oil. Off to start my research for the paper.. The 27th will be here before we know it.
