"And in six months we'll come see you. What I had feared was true. Maybe they'd come to visit, but we'd never live together again." (Satrapi 152)

How does this relate to the central idea?

This implicit quote relates to my central idea because Satrapi's parents "stuck with the status quo" and sent her away to keep her safe instead of allowing her to stay and fight for what is right.

# data[].attributes.body
In this piece of textual evidence, Satrapi showed that she was willing to lie in order to return safely to her house. In Iran, even little acts of rebellion were against the law. She was so scared that they would take her away that she talked her way out of the situation instead of standing up for free expression through her clothing. Hense, representing the central idea

Through this quote, Satrapi clearly states the central idea by saying that they ran away from demonstrations so they would not become the murdered bodies on the street. Demonstrations were the #1 way to stand up for what was right (being able to make your own choices) but once they turned violent many people fled for their lives.

This quote is between Satrapi and her mother. As the fundamentalist ways are becoming more prominent in the government; Satrapi's mother wants to protect her child by saying that they pray. She knows that she will be treated very differently and maybe even harmed if she says otherwise. Showing that in order to protect her life, she stuck to the status quo and not sticking up for her beliefs.

Once again, Satrapi's mother is doing whatever she can to save her life. In this situation those men were going to kill her if she did not wear her veil. Because she knew she didn't have enough power as a westernized woman, she did what they asked even though it was against what she thought was right. Proving that she stuck to the status quo.

Well this quote represents Satrapi's mother doing whatever she could to save her life. Even if that meant laying low, following the rules and dying her hair. She went against what she believed in so that she would not get caught.

“Their job was to put us back by explaining the duties of muslim women. Why are you wearing those ‘punk’ shoes? What punk shoes? Those! But these are sneakers! Shut up! They’re punk. It was obvious that she had no idea what punk was. There was no alternative, I had to lie. I wear these because I play basketball. I’m on my schools team." (Satrapi 133)

“So I went with them. I passed out flyers… when suddenly things got nasty. For the first time in my life, I saw violence with my own eyes. That was our last demonstration." (Satrapi 76)

“If anyone ever asks you what you do during the day, say you pray, you understand?”
(Satrapi 75

“Two guys… two bearded guys! Two fundamentalist bastards… the bastards… the bastards… they… ‘calm down darling, calm down, what did they do?’ ‘Mom!’ They insulted me. They said that women like me should be pushed up against a wall and fucked. And then thrown in the garbage. ...And that if I didn’t want that to happen, I should wear the veil…” (Satrapi 74)

“And even in onemagazine in Iran. My mother was really scared. ‘Have you seen this?’ ‘Don’t worry darling.’ She dyed her hair, and wore dark glasses for a long time.” (Satrapi 5)

For me, in some social situations I have agreed with something that I don’t necessarily believe in just so I am liked more or not socially hurt. If that makes sense. I can really relate to my central idea because of the social environment of high school and just wanting to fit in.

This may seem a little bit of a stretch but... In world war 2, the people imprisoned in concentration camps followed the rules and did everything they could to save their life. Those who stood up for themselves and put their lives in the hands of others, ended up dead. However, like Satrapi but on a larger scale; the Allies stood up for what was right and did not allow the persecution of jews, political prisoners, etc. so they put a stop to it.

How Aspects of Culture Impact the Central Idea

# data[].attributes.body
With the amount of violence used by the government, people often favor their life over losing it to stand up for what it right. Ex. people running away from demonstrations when they get violent or not going to demonstrations at all.

In order to save their life, people often feel the need to stick to the status quo instead of standing up for what is right.
