Persepolis

1. The Book follows young Marji through her young years as an outspoken, defiant young girl in the face of extreme governmental censorship and persecution which highlighted the importance if the Islamic Revolution. She explains that "the Revolution is like a bicycle. When the wheels don't turn, it falls...and so went the Revolution in my country." (Satrapi 10). The chaotic scene offers a precise image of the disorganization and ultimate disaster of the Revolution. Through the use of black and white images and poignant commentary, the reader actually sees the young girl's family through a much deeper level. The unstable nature of the era is reflected in Satrapi's depiction of her young self. For Persepolis II, I can expect Marjane to have the same comical tone, as well educational events. 

2. There is a reason as to why there exists such a transition from childhood to adult hood. Marjane was unfortunate to have passed that bridge because her life expected from her to already be mature. I feel that her being exposed to such a distinct way of living harmed her as an individual because no little girl can possibly recover from great traumatic sights the way Marjane experienced. the correct information children should be obtaining are toys and kid parties, not about war and politics. The only way to help avoid any child from absorbing this type of information is simply condensing they're knowledge for the time suited. If a girl doesn't know yet what war is, why expose it and confuse her mind. It's best to wait until his or her maturity increases to a certain level.
