Taking the time to look through a child's innocent point of view, people can see the true repercussions of a demeaning system.

"We didn't really like to wear the veil, especially since we didn't understand why we had to. And also because the year before, in 1979, we were in a French non-religious school. Where boys and Girls were together. And then suddenly in 1980...
'All bilingual schools must be closed down. They are symbols of capitalism, of Decadence'" (Satrapi 3-4).

In this quote you can see how one of the first changes of the Cultural Revolution impacted the children. The children of the future by making the girls wear hijabs, and then separating them based on gender. In any leadership role its a goal to effect the children cause they will grow up and be the ones that will lead the future. That's why so many decisions society makes is to protect or teach the children. This choice is also taking away their freedom of choice, and in most cases they didn't appreciate being forced to wear a type of hijab

"He told sad but true stories: Reza became a porter at the age of ten. Leila wove carpets at age five. Hassan, Three years old cleaned car windows. .. The real reason for my shame and for the revolution is the same: the difference between social classes,"(Satrapi 33)

The social class division affects everybody even the children. The children don't quite grasp it but society has placed them into certain lives based on the class they were born in. For those on the bottom life is hard, and their rights are minimal to those of higher class. Those kids of lower class must work from a young age to help their families.

"After my friends departure, a good part of my family also left the country. 'Maybe we should leave too...'
'So that I can become a taxi driver and you a cleaning lady?'"(Satrapi 64)

The changes to the country by having the church lead are driving whole families with their roots set to move to a whole new country. A big reason Marji and her family stayed in the country was cause their social class was a higher medium class. This quote also shows how other families are willing to take such a big step because of the sensed future oppression.

"So my great dream went up in smoke. I wouldn't  be able to go to the United States. And then some days later...' The ministry of education has decreed that universities will close at the end of the month. '".

Education is a big thing to many people. If you have the education you have the power to change things for yourself like your class because you can do more fulfilling work. The ports being closed, and universities being shut down means the people can't better themselves, or lift the chains their government is slowly putting on them.

"'They insulted me. They said that women like me should be pushed up against a wall.. And that if I didn't want this to happen, I should wear the veil...'" (Satrapi 74)

# data[].attributes.body
Women and girls are being forced to wear the veil from the government and the public. Being forced not to show their feminine side. We really see this through Marji's eyes with her rebellious streak how demeaning this was for many. Not being able to express through the colors/type of clothes how you feel, and being scared to walk in the street with a small strand left out from getting threatened with assault.
