252 Words2 Pages

The memoir I read, Prisoner of Tehran by Marina Nemat was described about her experience in the prison of Tehran. The prison has taken Marina’s freedom. However, she was released from the prison after few years luckily. After released from prison, she had felt there is no future in Iran anymore to her and decides to leave the country with her husband and son. At the end of the book, she takes the plane and describes that she crosses the border of Iran. Marina ends the book by saying about the thing she had left behind. I think it was the best way to end to the book. The ending implies many meanings. After she crosses the border, “most women took off their hejabs and put on some makeup”(Nemat 273). That shows her freedom has finally given back
