In this chapter Marji says her life took a turn and nothing scared her anymore. She was not afraid to rebel. Marji knew that jewelry was forbidden at school. So she showed up to school with a bracelet on her wrist. Her principal tries taking it from her but Marji fights back by hitting the principal. This results in Marji getting expelled. A week later Marji's parents discuss with her that they think it would be for the best if she left Iran for a better education and life. This relates to my central idea because after Marji is told the news she is leaving Iran she realizes how much her family loves her. She now knows that she is maturing and developing that will continue when she is without her family. All of this is caused from the distrust in the government.

"I went to see the principal today, she assured me that she had not sent a report this time, but considering the person you are and the education you've received we thought it would be better if you left Iran"

In the book Marji and her mother are discussing about how Marji and her friends are trying to teach others right from wrong. Marji hears about Ramins father who is a neighbor and acquaintance of Marji and her family. A classmate of her talks about how Ramins father killed "millions" of people. She wants to take things into her own hands and teach Ramin wrong from right. "In the name of the dead million, well teach Ramin a lesson. I have a idea..." Marji says. Her and fellow classmates progress to prepare to attack Ramin but her mother catches them in the act. This relates to my central idea since her mother tries explaining to her that Ramins father did do the things she heard but that it wasn't his fault and the government is forcing him to kill communists and that Ramin didn't have a choice or say in any of it. Her mother tells her it does no justice for her and Marji and that they have to learn to forgive.

This quote is in Marji's point of view and is showing how Marji is rebelling against what her family has always told her what was wrong. In this chapter, she skips class with older girls at her school who pressured her to. Marji then continues to lie to her mother about the situation. They also talk about how the war would have finally ended but the Iranian government was against it which plunged them deeper into war. By smoking the cigarette which at first she thought was a act of rebellion, she then understood it was just her growing up and seeing what actually happening in the world. This relates to my central idea because Marji is finally realizing what the war is actually affecting in the big picture. She understands that she has to mature and develop now into a adult. She understands its not a choice for her.

"As for me, I sealed my act of rebellion against my mothers dictatorship by smoking the cigarette I'd stolen from my uncle two weeks earlier.

It was awful. But this was not the moment to give in"

Violence and distrust in the government at a young age results in a need to mature and develop sooner.
