Beginning "Zaat"....it's pronounced "fet"

Yes, contrary to popular belief, once you enter IB English, the letters Z, A, A, and T, when strung together make the same sound as when you try to say "fat" with a mouthful of sandwich. Regardless of how one pronounces it, those of us in Mrs. Rutigliano's IB English have begun reading Zaat by award winning (but not award accepting) author Sonallah Ibrahim.

This blog will be mostly consisting of literary features posts about the book, but I imagine a couple vocab entries will sneak in, just to ensure life is being lived on the edge.
