Nisa's Life

The story of Nisa and her life was very interesting because it was from her perspective and it showed how she felt to be a woman during that time period. When she was talking about marriage and how she changed over the process, it was interesting to see that at the beginning she was scared because she didn't know him or love him. That idea of marrying someone not for love was found in a lot of different cultures and is still found in modern day populations but it isn't something that happens normally in our everyday lives. Something that was similar to our culture was when she suffered the loss of her husband and how it affected her because she had grown to love him and it devastated her when he died and left her alone with her newborn. It was also interesting to hear her talk about having a lover because that's something that can ruin marriages today but it's funny to think that even people in that culture were doing it.
