A. <em>Tahereh Saffarzadeh's authorial point of view would be different if she had been born in the United States.</em> Being born in Israel and having lived in Iran for years before leaving to England and then to the United States, her vision about Persian culture and Islamic religion is no doubt different from that of a U.S. born citizen. Those societal aspects must be ingrained within her education and formation, making her point of view of the subject more personal and perhaps less conflicted than it would be if her was born in the U.S. (the relations between both cultures being so conflicted for sure have an influence on the citizens of both places and cultures).

- your parents may say that someone passed away rather that that person died.
- a boss may say that they had to let someone go, rather then saying they had to fire someone.
- a person may be called portly or big-boned rather then overweight or fat.
