These chapters begined talking about Azar Narizi returning to a university named Allame, in Tehran were she used to give class. She talked about some of the students that she remembered that used to teach and also how it have became a ritual of her when dressing to go to teach. She went back to teach a class in literature. She says that in almost the first two weeks of teaching in the second semester she received an envelope with her name and inside a paper that only contained a line that said “The adulterous Nafisi should be expelled”. This made her feel uncomfortable, but after a time she concluded that the message maybe was related to the liberty or liberal of her class and how she gave it. The class in literature that she was teaching was named Introduction to the Novel II, and in these chapters she was discussing about the author Henry James and his novel Daisy Millard. During the rest of the chapter the author talks about how controversial was Henry James, and his novel character Daisy Miller, to her students. She mentioned in particular some of her students specially Mr. Ghomi. He was the student that always contradicted the class specially the teacher, and mostly criticizing Henry James and Daisy Miller. She also mentioned that sometimes was better to let and express your feelings toward something like Mr. Ghomi that keeping them your yourself. In the things they discussed in the story’s class where if Daisy Milled was bad or wrong in how she acted towards men and towards everything or if she really was a heroine. Azar answered this question or problem with an exercise with a chair (mentioned on chapter 17). She concluded saying that depending on the angle you looked at it was its description but still was a chair, depending on the position in with you look at Daisy Millard is your judgment in a way. These chapters ended mentioning some of the different ways her students thought about Daisy Miller and some of them deciding to speak about what they think of the novels.
