Marji learned about the experiences her uncle endured and she started to understand the difficulties of people during this time. She learned about her family who had served in prison and she decided they were heroes to her.

In one of their conversations Marji says "God, give me more time. I am not quite ready yet." and God responds with "Yes you are celestial light, you are my choice, my last and best choice." Marji wants to be a prophet of God and is very devoted and practices religion heavily. She holds God close with her and has a good relationship with him. ]]> 2020-11-12 19:49:36 UTC https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918220768 https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918221414 Fear is shown in chapter 5, "The Trip," on page 37. The author writes, "For the first time in my life, I saw violence with my own eyes." Marjane goes to a demonstration with her family to protest until the protest became violent. This was a moment when Marjane felt fear because she never experienced something like that before and that was the last time her family went to a demonstration.]]> 2020-11-12 19:49:44 UTC https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918221414 https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918224606 2020-11-12 19:50:29 UTC https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918224606 gabrbabe3288 https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918226134 2020-11-12 19:50:50 UTC https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918226134 https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918226351 The chapter the veil I think really emphasizes the theme Justice because they don't understand as to why they have to wear them and why they women are looked as differently.

Panel 6 says, "Confess! Who are the others!" This shows Heroism because Ahmadi does not tell who the others are but instead gets the worst torture for it and dies. ]]> 2020-11-12 19:51:10 UTC https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918227527 https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918228184 In chapter 1 of page 6-9, Persepolis has an imaginary friend which is god. This is an example of religion because it mentions her god and she illustrates herself to be a prophet. Her and "God" have conversations in which she keeps them from her family because she believes it's not a problem. This religion is private and personal for her. It is important to her and it influences her but no one else believes what she is talking about when it comes to her and God's conversations.]]> 2020-11-12 19:51:20 UTC https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918228184 https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918228275 An example of justice in Persepolis is Marji wanting justice for the innocent people who were killed in the bombings. She and her family thinks it was wrong for that to happen. This can be found in chapters 16 and 17 when we see the people running up and down the stairs and calling their loved ones to make sure they are okay.]]> 2020-11-12 19:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918228275 alliprit7222 https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918230504 Freedom vs. confinement is shown in chapter one page 4 she states ¨I really don´t know what to think of the veil, deep down i was very religious but as a family we were very modern¨ another example would be from chapter 1 page 1 ¨ we really don´t like to wear the veil especially since we didn't understand why we had to.¨ This shows freedom vs. confinement because they had no choice, it was not optional.]]> 2020-11-12 19:51:55 UTC https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918230504 https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918231490 This is an example of how Marji is straying away from religion as she grows older throughout the story.

This is her first encounter with the confinement that her government represented. In chapter 1, she says: "We didn't really like to wear the veil, especially since we didn't know why we had to." ]]> 2020-11-12 19:52:15 UTC https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918231774 https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918232704 In chapter 15 page 31, panel 1. two woman come up to marji and tell her that she is not dressed appropriately. she tells her that she shouldn't be wareing a michael jackson button and that her shoes were punk. The government has forced everyone to be religious and follow all the rules and that there will be consequences if you do not. religion has made people have to make huge chages to their lives and has even caused problems even in marji's family/ home. ]]> 2020-11-12 19:52:29 UTC https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918232704 https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918233255 An example of freedom vs confinement in the story is when Marjane´s freedom is being taken away. She doesn't realize how much freedom she had until it was gone. Like when she was forced to wear clothes that covered her body head to toe and when she was forced to wear a veil. ]]> 2020-11-12 19:52:37 UTC https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918233255 https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918234000 Evidence of Martyrdom in the chapters 6-13 on page 12 the whole page talks about how Ahmad was assassinated and tortured. The author states, "Ahmadi was assassinated as a member of the Guerillas, he suffered hell he always had cyanide on him in case he was arrested, but he was taken by surprise and unfortunately he had never had a chance to use it so it’s up in the worst torture.” In the speech bubbles The torture says confess where are the others but he never admits it. He died rather than admitting which makes this a key example of martyrdom

The text states "Her mother had already abandoned her. Since that day, I've had doubts about the so called 'maternal instinct'"
Marji's aunt had left her new born baby in Marji's arms and ran. She decided to save herself over her own child. Marji drew the conclusion that "maternal instinct" isn't something all mothers have. This is sad yet isn't surprising since the idea of saving yourself is a big part of Iranian culture.]]> 2020-11-12 19:52:55 UTC https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918234453 benjklei2704 https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918234724 in chapter 1 her grandma supported her when no one else believed in her]]> 2020-11-12 19:52:59 UTC https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918234724 https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918236245 In the chapter “The Sheep” fear is shown by the people fleeing Iran because of the conflict. A boy who has to leave says “My parents say it’s impossible to live under an Islamic regime”, and Marji’s dad says that everyone who left is “just afraid of change”. The people fear for their lives so much that they don't think they can even live in Iran anymore.]]> 2020-11-12 19:53:21 UTC https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918236245 https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918236395 Evidence of fear in Persepolis is on page 12 panel 3 of the chapter 6-13 section when Marji says "My parents were so shocked, they forgot to spare me this experience."

It says “for the first time in my life i saw violence with my own eyes” and then Marji screams “dad” because she is scared. Later it says “that’s our last demonstration” because they were all so scared and fearful they didn’t ever want to experience that again. Another time there was evidence of fear was when Marji was confronted by the lady that was a loyalist that tried to get Marji in trouble because of the way she dressed because she wasn’t dressed the way they were told to dress. This caused her so much fear that she cried.  ]]> 2020-11-12 20:03:48 UTC https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918278375 alinbusc8346 https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918285120 One example of the topic ¨family¨ would be when Marji´s Father told her about her Uncle Anoosh, who]]> 2020-11-12 20:05:36 UTC https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918285120 https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918307738 I wanted to be justice, love and the wrath of God all in one]]> 2020-11-12 20:11:30 UTC https://padlet.com/remartin/zzbc9eof8ji1/wish/918307738
