Persepolis Chapters 1-3

Persepolis, tells the story of Marjane, a girl who tells us how she was childhood in the middle of the Iranian revolution. She was ten years old when wearing the veil became obligatory and had to be separated from his companions. In the streets there were demonstrations because of this veil, even the mother of Marjane, I participate in these protests which made her famous thanks to a photograph but from fear this dye her hair blond.

Marjane did not know what to think of the veil, she had a great influence on religion and for that reason she was sure that she would be the only prophet woman and the only one who followed the flow in her wishes was her grandmother.

Every night Marjane, had long conversations with God, since no one believed her to be a prophet, even came to think she was disturbed and so when her parents asked her what she wanted, she said "Doctor" and felt guilty with God for lying. But his faith was absolute, so it was against government in the garden of his house and although he wanted to go to the streets, his parents or permeates because it was very dangerous.


Like Marjane, she did not leave those ideas, her parents bought her books and distracted her from everything that happened. His favorite book was "The Materialism Dialectic" where he seemed amused the resemblance of one of its personages (Marx) With God (the image that she had of God). She said that God came to see her from time to time.


Marjane's parents commented on all the bad news with concern, such as the fire in the movie theater and Marjane said that he looked like "Che Guevara or Fidel Castro" with great desire to go to the demonstrations
