In Persepolis they stated “when I went back to her room she was crying. We were not in the same social bed but at least we were in the same bed.” (Satrapi 37)

They also said “The reason for the revolution is the same: The difference between social classes.” (Satrapi 33)

On page 28, panel 1, there is an example of social class. There is a buried man who had a lot of power in the ancient world. The people who govern in the modern day are walking on top of the ancient ruler’s grave. This shows how the ancient rulers had much more power than the modern ones.

1. I wanted to be a prophet because our maid did not eat with us, because my dad owned a Cadillac” (Satrapi 6).

1. On page 33, the people in the panels are shown working at young ages, possibly because of their social class. Marji seems ashamed of herself for being a higher social class. She clearly knows that other people work more than she does, which makes her feel bad for them. Marji says” The Reason for my shame and for the revolution is the same: The difference between social classes” (Satrapi 33).
2. On page 37, Mehri loses her boyfriend because of the difference between their social classes. This shows the major influence of social classes in Iran at the time. The text states “You must understand that their love is impossible. Why is that? Because in this country you must stay in your own social class” (Satrapi 37).

Evidences Yasme’s
1 Evidence:“It appears that Marji is upset at the in justice between social classes and does not believe people should be treated differently due to what family they were born into”(Satrapi 37).
2 Evidence:“Oh , Yes, so poor that we had only bread to eat . I was so ashamed that I pretended to cook so that neighbors wouldn’t notice anything”(Satrapi 26).

“You must understand that their love was impossible. Why is that? Because in this country you must stay in your own social class.” (Satrapi 37)

Pg. 34, Panel 2. This panel shows Mehri crying as Marji’s family takes her from her parents. In addition to the obvious injustice of one family forced to give up there child and another receiving a maid, it is drawn so that Marji’s family is literally on higher ground than Mehri’s family. This panel shows the impossibility of Mehri’s situation, her parents were so poor that they had to give there child away, and the Satrapi’s were willing, if not excited, to take the Mehri.

“ I wanted to be a prophet because our maid did not eat with us.”(Satrapi 6). This quote here explains part of it. Mehri can’t eat with them cause she isn’t at the same level, or class, as Marji and her family. The fourth panel and fifth panels on page 37 furthers this point. Marji’s father is explaining that they’re love is impossible. Mehri basically can’t do anything of her free will.

Mehri’s love interest loses any interest in her just because he finds out she is not in the same social class. “Without any hesitation, Hossein gave all the letters he had received to my father” (Satrapi 36-37)

Mehri doesn’t know how to read or write, even though Marji (who’s years older than her) can. She was also considered a peasant. (Satrapi 35)

It appears that Marji is upset at the injustice between social classes and does not believe people should be treated differently due to what family they were born into. I know this from page 37 panel 6.
