ATSS – Discussion Questions The beginning of Mariam’s marriage to Rasheed seems to promise happiness. What are signs that this may be short lived? How does Rasheed feel about the westernization of Afghanistan? What shows his ambivalence? What are Rasheed’s reasons for making Mariam wear a burqa and what do they tell us about his ideas about his role as a husband and man and his expectations for Mariam? Mariam learns some of her husband’s history when she looks inside the drawers in his room. Why does she rationalize about what she sees? Why does Rasheed want a boy? How might life have been different for the family if Mariam could have had a baby? Why does Rasheed become abusive?

Authors can influence audiences by using images or visual elements as powerful support for their arguments.  Visual rhetoric is a term used to describe images that make or support an argument. Visual rhetoric may also include the use of text features, such as fonts and white space, or graphics, such as illustrations, charts, and cartoons.  Reflect on our last photograph. What rhetorical appeals does it make?
