In Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis there were many parts I found extraordinary. I found it extremely interesting that a 10 year old wanted to be a part of the revolution even though she didn't understand exactly what was going on. I think that it shows how strong of a person that Marji was, she seemed to be the one who pulled her family together when things weren't going well. I just liked how much Marji wanted to be a par of everything, it proves to me that children understand when things aren't going well, even if they don't understand the reason behind it. I think her writing of Persepolis opened my eyes to a lot of the issues in Iran, and also the fact that children are aware of what's going on on around them.
