In school, I was met with questions like, “Why are Muslim women oppressed?” or “Do you need bodyguards when you travel to Jordan?”

TastelessHalfWasp

22:04

shoudl i keep those questions in there or is too much?

texaslawhopefully

22:44

I would cut the questions and go in media res.

But, I guess it also depends on what the next few paragraphs are like. I personally am not a fan of rhetorical questions, as they're generally not well done, but they could work.

I like the questions but maybe italics instead of quotes so it feels more internal

pleasepleasepleas

like quotes are so blocky and chunky sometimes whereas italics feels more like seamless thoughts but I think that only works if it matches your writing style! I used rhetoricals in mine that way and it seems to have been working out okay
