Hi my name is Kambili! What is your name?
Hi I am Marji. Nice to meet you!
I am from Nigeria in Africa!
Where are you from Marji?
I am from Iran! What about you?
You speak good English for being from Africa!
English is actually the official language of Nigeria!
Kambili and Marji meet each other getting off the bus walking into school.
I assume you and your family are very religious because of your veil?
I am very religious but my family is not. We moved here because my family had to pretend they practiced Islam in Iran.
Kambili and Marji talk about where they are from while walking into school together.
Nice, so you and your family must be good people and very kind.
Do you believe in a religion?
Yes, my family and I are devoted catholics.
Yes, I would say so.
Kambili informs Marji of a common misconception about Nigerians while walking to class.
Iran must have not been very fun because of all the violence and everything going on there.
You are right about the violence but there actually is quite a lot of things to go do and see!
Marji explains to Kambili how she is religious but her family is not and why she had to move just before their class starts.
Marji asks about Kambili's faith and Kambili agrees that she and her family are good people when she knows deep down that her father isn't a good person.
Marji explains that not everything in Iran is bad and there is plenty to go do and see just like any other country.
