"Why is that?"
"Because in this country you must stay within your own social class."

They tried to shield how bad things were, and tried to make her understand that she's too young.]]> 2019-01-08 14:42:18 UTC https://padlet.com/22gutec/6nrq9glqagor/wish/318317633 22gutec https://padlet.com/22gutec/6nrq9glqagor/wish/318317900 The parents were tired from going to all the protests and they reached a breaking point and told their daughter they were too tired to play a game. This shows that they had shielded her from how tired and hard on them the protests really were. Her reaction of anger and annoyance at them not wanting to play Monopoly shows that they alleviated her from the truth.]]> 2019-01-08 14:42:40 UTC https://padlet.com/22gutec/6nrq9glqagor/wish/318317900 22gutec https://padlet.com/22gutec/6nrq9glqagor/wish/318317957 Satrapi's maid was of a lower social class then the next door neighbor who she fell in love with. In their country people could only be with others of their social class. So when the boy found out that she was the maid he ended things. Marji didn't understand the social class system or why it was in place because her parents had shielded the horrors of her country from her. But the dad decided to help her understand why those 'rules' are in place.]]> 2019-01-08 14:42:44 UTC https://padlet.com/22gutec/6nrq9glqagor/wish/318317957 22gutec https://padlet.com/22gutec/6nrq9glqagor/wish/318318083 Marji didn't understand a joke at a family discussion. Later on she laughed but didn't really know what was funny. It shows how she wasn't really educated and informed of the truth, but her grandma helps her understand these things.]]> 2019-01-08 14:42:54 UTC https://padlet.com/22gutec/6nrq9glqagor/wish/318318083 22gutec https://padlet.com/22gutec/6nrq9glqagor/wish/318318169 Marji and her friends tried to hurt a little boy in their class because his father was a killer. Her and her friends didn't understand that Ramin shouldn't be blamed for his fathers faults. They were never informed.

Some of the scenes have pictures only.
This story is not in order. There is also many flashbacks, and different perspectives. She makes some pictures bigger than others and I think that that's because she wants to make a bigger deal of certain parts over others. She also uses black and white instead of color which I think makes the story a little more serious. It also takes away a little bit of the childishness of the drawings.]]> 2019-01-08 14:44:52 UTC https://padlet.com/22gutec/6nrq9glqagor/wish/318319555 22gutec https://padlet.com/22gutec/6nrq9glqagor/wish/318327480 Satrapi, Marjane.

It also gives us history that explains a little bit of her past before she was born. The cool thing about this story is that she uses flashbacks every once in a while and gives us bits and pieces at a time rather than giving us all the history at once. The way the pictures were drawn makes a brutal story of war more childish, which adds to the fact that she experienced this as a child and makes us have more empathy for her.The whole story makes people empathetic because it's from a child's point of view. ]]> 2019-01-08 19:08:19 UTC https://padlet.com/22gutec/6nrq9glqagor/wish/318505284
