Answer 2

The first poem that we have covered that describes other cultures would be ''Birthplace'', This describes how most mothers felt about birthing a daughter. It was as though the child was a disgrace, but it goes beyond even what the poet is saying here, it reflects the culture in Iran, Tahereh Saffarzadeh did not say exactly what that reflection was but we can see it clearly, Women wear viewed as a disgrace, this was proven by the way they were expected to dress and act in their culture. They were expected to wear hijab and cover almost all of their body except the face and hands, this proves the way women are looked upon in Iranian viewpoints.

Another one that we covered is Nectar in a Sieve, Rukmani is the main character and the author reveals her cultural background, she reveals the tannery, peasants, and beliefs. This portrays many cultures today, many feel as Rukmani's culture rice is life, drums are change, and so and so forth.

And finally the ''Laughter'', this does describe the place, Chile, by the '' blue flower of my country''. Chile is known for its beautiful blue flower, but also many people in Chile have fun and are always laughing or having fun. A perfect setting for this poem.
