Reflective statement for Women At Point Zero Essay

To what extent does the student show how his or her understanding of cultural and contextual elements was developed through the interactive oral ? I think time and place are one of the most main(prenominal) settings in the novel since as we know Cairo have a huge amount of unemployment as women at that time didnt continou their education so having a secondary school certificate didnt allow Firadus to find a decent job, after she moved from the village to Cairo which led her to prostitution. On the other some Muslims there misunderstand Islam such that her huspand Sheikh Mahmoud used to go to the mosque for every solicitation but in the same time he used to beat her up just because she privy eat and he cant or because she lives some food on the plateSince I deign from an Arabic background , it was easy to understand how much she suffered to survive life , but it was a smear difficult to understand her mentality because Firdaus is a Muslim and she became a prostitute which is tot ally forbidden by Islam , at the same time prostitution is illegal in Egypt but still some constabulary men used to go have sex with her every now and then while their factual job is to put her in prison . A connection that I have found exchangeable to my own culture is that women at the age of 17 or 18 usually get conjoin and stop education and thats what happened to Firdaus. The most interesting technique used in the novel is flashback since erst you start reading the book and you know she has killed a man , you really want to know what happened, wherefore and how she killed a man and why did she spit on the picture of every man in the countersign paper. What I found also interesting is how she narrated her story with every man she met which led her to loathe the hoary society she lives in.
