Explanation:

This question refers to the short story "Daughter of Invention" by author J.ulia Alvarez.

The main character and narrator has been chosen to write a speech to be given in front of teachers and classmates. And she does her job beautifully, filled with inspiration and passion. Her speech talks of strength, independence, of students surpassing their masters. But, to her shock and disappointment, the narrator's father disapproves of the speech to the point of tearing it to pieces.

The narrator and her father have completely different life experiences. Unlike her, he has lived through a dictatorship. He is still afraid of speaking his mind, of talking too loud, of losing loved ones, of being taken into a black car and disappearing, even though they now live in America. To the father, one should be careful and considerate when speaking. To the daughter, one should speak one's mind openly. The conflict between them develops the plot by highlighting their differences, as well as by helping them understand each other more profoundly.

Note: For some reason, usually has trouble posting answers that contain names starting with the letters j, u, and l. That is why I had to spell J.ulia like this.

awnser:

the thousand and one nights – or, as i prefer to call them in the following forpurely practical reasons: the arabian nights – as we perceive them three hundredyears after antoine galland’s epochal french adaptation bear a distinct arabicimprint. meanwhile, the commonly accepted model for their textual historyacknowledges various stages in the conceptualization and effective formation ofboth the collection’s characteristic frame story and the embedded repertoire. thevast majority of tales in the preserved manuscripts of the nights has beenintegrated into the collection during two periods of arabic influence, the so-calledbaghdad and cairo periods (gerhardt 1963: 115–374). these “arabic” stages arepreceded by an iranian version, probably dating to pre-islamic times, which in itsturn profits from both structural devices and narrative contents originating fromindian tradition. considering the eminent position that iran and iranian culturehold in the early stages of the textual history of the arabian nights, surprisinglyfew details are known concerning the collection’s relation to and its actualposition within the iranian cultural context. in the following, i will discuss linksbetween the arabian nights and iranian culture on several levels. in surveyingthese links, i will treat five major areas: (1) the iranian prototype of the nights; (2) tales of alleged persian origin; (3) persian characters within the tales; (4)persian translations of the arabian nights; and (5) the position of the arabiannights in modern iran
