Persepolis Blog 2




Question #12:
The role of women in this story, is to be the "stay-at-home" parent. They are only expected to raise the children, cook the meals, and clean the house. They are allowed to do other things, but they are usually just conformed to these ideas. They are second-class compared to men. They must always respect the men, by doing things such as wearing a veil in their presence.


Question #7:
Despite the opressive regime, Iranians found ways to still enjoy life. Marji's parents travelled, partied, and drank liquor, which convinced others to do the same and Marji and her friends would undermind the law by taking off their veils in public. I laughed when I found out that Marji's parents drank alcohol. By adding pictures to this book, it helps get rid of the extra "reading musts", like imagining the characters.


Question #6:
The revolution was important ot alot of people because they were fighting for their rights and freedom. After the revolution many left, because their country was not the same anymore. There weren't alot of public places, and many homes were destroyed during the revolution. I think Marji's parents felt like they had an obligation to the revolt and couldn't be the parents that she needed at the time, so they sent her away. They were not afraid of the revolt and wanted to play their part.
