Blogger and Pakistani-American mother Scarf Ace , in her post Miss or Diss?, describes
her hardships of wearing the hijab in America. Ace's purpose is to illustrate her view of how
wearing the hijab is like to her, and the common struggles muslim women face every day. She
adopts a introspective tone in order to appeal to similar feelings and experiences in her fellow
muslim readers. Ace writes with a colloquial style in this post.
Ace begins her post with discussing her reasons for creating the blog. Talking about her
religious struggles on her blog have helped her cope with starting to wear the hijab. She reminds
others to not take offense as she is trying to find her way to becoming a better muslim. Ace

She misses “the
relief of cool breezes on my neck”, having hair as a physical asset, and “wondering what people
think when they see me”. Ace is trying to find a connection with other muslim women to verify
that what she is feeling is acceptable.She is also trying to assure herself that “all hijabis have it
(religiously)figured out in a solid way”.
Ace then shifts the topic from difficulties of wearing the hijab to her thoughts of how
others may be judging her. She is conflicted by her religious teaching versus opinions form
people around her. She is taught that God is the most merciful, most forgiving, and most
compassionate. Wearing the hijab is a symbol of her remembering God, and that he will
remember her in a good standing. Ace is trying to use logic in her argument by citing information
from the Quran. When with her own people, she feels helpless as she cannot consult another
Muslim sister. She is concerned on how others may judge her since she hasn't “figured it out all
the way”.The non-muslim people around her make her even more anxious as she is transitioning
to wearing the headscarf. Many people in America have a negative view towards the hijab.
