Marji makes fun of the torture sessions and begins to not take them seriously. This panel shows her making fun of the martyrs who where killed for their beliefs - in the next panel, she lies on the floor jokingly screaming, “kill me!”

Ridiculous statements of stereotypes about women and farts. The difference in tone and randomness of the dialogue makes it light and humorous. Mostly for entertainment but also making fun of the mindsets of the people, exemplifying their miseducation and ignorance.

This ironic segment of panels criticize the Iranian system for requiring students to hit themselves to show patriotism. It is funny to them because they have to hit themselves to prove their loyalty (sacrifice). Additionally, this scene is contradicting because Marjane seems patriotic (in previous pages, she portrayed that she would do anything for her country) and has lost many friends and family, yet she is mocking the act of suffering. This showcases Marjane’s maturity level and her privilege to be rebellious. The author uses techniques like facial features and illustrations of a group background to demonstrate the general mentality

Very dark satire due to the gruesomeness of the content. A man is stabbing himself to prove his loyalty and love for his country. He is in a pool of his own blood and is called "macho." Death is horrible yet Iran is encouraging it to prove nationalism. This panel is criticizing the fact that people are also dying purposefully outside of the war to prove their patriotism, when many people in the war are dying without choice.

Represents how cruel the army is giving plastic keys to soldiers so they can go to heaven. Demonstrates how their lives are being thrown away or they're viewed as disposable shown through the representation of the keys as they're made of plastic. Gives false hope to the people about what comes next.
