I believe the central theme is social and political indoctrination because the citizens are shown as being constantly affected and persecuted based on their beliefs. For example, when the Shah was in power he was chosen by God but when he was taken out of power he needed to be removed from history.

We have a better understanding of how the imperialist powers of our nation had an impact on Iranian society. I believe the central theme of this graphic novel is how quickly the world can change and how it can impact those who are growing up within that world

Being an American has effected me because they have the mindset that they are going to stick through the war and dangers of their country in hopes it will get better but I personally would've also left to America like marji's friend

Well it's being really confusing , also the little girl is very annoying and I hate herand  her book. The way she tells the story is not very efficient. The central theme is how she thinks everyone is dead or the way the revolution came to be and the reasoning behind it. By asking the history teacher I got a different point of view from his generation so it's confusing as 💯💯

As an American, it is very shocking to see that their lives used to be so different before. This is because I thought that they always lived in a way that strictly followed the rules in Quaran. I never knew there was a shift.

As an American, I feel I have a broader point of view on the situation in Iran, specifically on how the other revolutions that Iran based its own off of turned out. I therefore saw the turn to tyranny from a good ways off, and was not surprised by any of the sudden turns for the worst.
