ENGL 19 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Persian Language, Hookah, William Mulholland
Document Summary
Mariam, ali, and shima are sitting in the living room, waiting for shima"s boyfriend to come to their house for dinner and meet her parents for the first time. The interior of the house looks like the stereotypical persian home. Carpets everywhere, golden hookah on the table, tea brewing in the background. Maman, we told him to be here by 8. Be here by 8 means come by 10! Shima bolts up and opens the door, revealing reza. Mariam and ali walk over, mariam pulling reza into a hug and kissing each of his cheeks twice, much to his confusion. Wonderful, we can drink it with the dinner i cooked. About that reza is a vegetarian, so he can"t have the kabob you made. Shima and reza look at each other awkwardly and follow her parents to the kitchen where they sit down at the dining table where mariam has prepared a ton of food, most of which contain meat.
