4. Chapter Four - Journal entry – Reflect on the purpose of education. What role does education serve in your life? Why do people receive an education? What does it mean to have free and equal education for all? What will happen to a culture by limiting a specific group’s education? How will this play out in My Forbidden Face?

5. Chapter Five – Narrative – This chapter is full of flashbacks explaining how Latifa has grown and changed.
