Something I read
After
being trapped in Iran Betty decides she is going to have to take the
hard way to get back home. The choice she had was to take a very long
hash trip into another country and from there she can make her way to
America. She was told it would take up to two months to get there. When
she returned home she decided not to tell her daughter Mahtob because
she didn't want to get her hopes up. After she decides to take that
journey she goes back to the Embassy and they say they will do their
best to help her make the tortuous journey. The Embassy then calls her
transportation and they begin to process her. Then she goes back and
hides Mahtob in the guy from the Embassy’s apartment. They stayed there
for a day. Then they were directed to get in the car with these two guys
and they drove for a few hours. After that they were put in another car
with different people. They drove to a barn where they stayed the night
outside. While there Betty discovers that some of her jewelry had been
stolen but there wasn't anything she could do. Then they got stopped by
the Iranian police and he looked threw the car but allowed them to pass.
Then they were picked up by a jeep and they had to sit in the back
where it was really cold because they were in the mountains. They later
came upon some police who opened fire on the jeep but they drove away
quick enough so that no one got shot. To make sure they didn't get
caught they had to get out of the jeep and walk through the woods. While
they were walking they met people with horses and rode the rest of the
way to the border.

Wht are your thoughts on what is happening here? What would you do in her position?
ReplyDeleteMy thought are that what if she doesn't make it out and if I was her I would be very scared and leave my child behind.
