As the book progresses, Margi visibly gets older but also has to start changing the way she dresses because of the war, which is the main source of change in the book. She also changes the way she acts when she starts rebelling against authority figures at home and at school, and forming her own opinions on the war and what is going on in her country. For example, the book says "After the death of Neda Baba-Levy, my life took a new turn. In 1984, I was fourteen and a rebel. Nothing scared me anymore." (Satrapi 143/1) This quote shows how the war has affected and changed the way Marji acts in school and at home. ]]> 2018-02-28 16:20:07 UTC https://padlet.com/aacastillo1/951ip8v7m172/wish/236489781 aacastillo1 https://padlet.com/aacastillo1/951ip8v7m172/wish/236497342 The shading is most successful technique because it shows how dramatic the events are in the story. There is an example of this on page 76 panel 3, this is when Marji is finally seen as an adult and can come to the riots. There is another example of shading on page 153 panel 4, this is when it shows Marji's dad carrying her mother when she fainted. -Adrian]]> 2018-02-28 16:29:39 UTC https://padlet.com/aacastillo1/951ip8v7m172/wish/236497342 aacastillo1 https://padlet.com/aacastillo1/951ip8v7m172/wish/236502089 In the Middle East there is a dress code for women and sometimes men that requires them to wear scarfs and burkas, as well as certain ways they could style their hair. In American we are free to wear whatever we want. In the Middle East it is also sometimes forbidden to speak against the government and rebel but in American we have free speech.
They also have a ban on entertainment such as bored games and parties, whereas we do not. One thing in common is we both have leaders that the people aren't fond of right now, and there are protests and sometimes riots due to that. - Luci Bixler]]> 2018-02-28 16:35:37 UTC https://padlet.com/aacastillo1/951ip8v7m172/wish/236502089 aacastillo1 https://padlet.com/aacastillo1/951ip8v7m172/wish/236506848 Religion in this book is similar to that in my own community because there are many people with different ideas on what they believe in and what they think other people should believe in. For example, in the book it says "... The black curtains are to protect us from our neighbors. Across the street. They're totally devoted to the new regime..." (Satrapi 105/1-2) This shows how, in the book, even the neighbors have very different ideas on their religion, just like in our country there are people with many different religions and ideas who may not agree with each other. It is very different because there is a very large population of people in the book with very radical ideas on how their religion should be practiced and are willing to die for their beliefs. Not only this, but they do not seem to have a separation of church and state as they do in our country, and they make laws about how religion should be practiced. -Sadie Allen]]> 2018-02-28 16:42:27 UTC https://padlet.com/aacastillo1/951ip8v7m172/wish/236506848 aacastillo1 https://padlet.com/aacastillo1/951ip8v7m172/wish/236513649 The author uses diction effectively because shes able to explain how the characters are thinking and really capture their emotions and reactions to certain situations. - Luci Bixler]]> 2018-02-28 16:51:23 UTC https://padlet.com/aacastillo1/951ip8v7m172/wish/236513649 aacastillo1 https://padlet.com/aacastillo1/951ip8v7m172/wish/236514715 My family is similar to this because we tell each other everything and we talk about what we hear on the news. My family is different because we dont usually yell at each other, my family is nice and calm.-Adrian]]> 2018-02-28 16:52:48 UTC https://padlet.com/aacastillo1/951ip8v7m172/wish/236514715 aacastillo1 https://padlet.com/aacastillo1/951ip8v7m172/wish/236516321 2018-02-28 16:54:56 UTC https://padlet.com/aacastillo1/951ip8v7m172/wish/236516321
