Fiction Critique, HALP!

So I'm reading the latest story up for workshop in my class, and it's not like it's...bad, writing wise. But it was written by this perfectly nice, unassuming freckly white girl. And the story...it's about a Saudi Arabian girl dealing with the death of her mother and opression in Saudi Arabia. I mean, I'm not saying she should write a story about something that exactly happened to her, but this situation is just so clearly far removed from anything she's experienced, that it rings really false. I'm just trying to figure out why she would have chosen to write a story like this. It's just...awkward. It's like she read the Kite Runner or something and was like, it worked for that guy.

So I don't really know how to critique this.

Also, it's in 14pt font. WTF?
