This is a wonderful Question. It really touches home for me, because In my younger years i had to deal with hard truth. as a young child i didn't have the best living internment. my mother has always been a very positive role model in my life, but not my father. even though he lived with me he wasn't the best role model. for as fare back in my childhood i could remember my father has been addicted to Crack cocaine. He Tried his best to hide it from, me and my other siblings. but it was to evident. As a young child, being teased about having a father as a crack head was not fun. So, as a result i tried to block every thought of him being a crack head, out of my head. I hard truth. Thank God that now my father is clean and we have a wonderful relationship, hes my papa bear. Much different from my situation, in Persepolis, marjane deals with the hard truth a little different. in the book marjane is excited to learn about the things happening around her, but when her parents something that she doesn't want to hear she gets made. for example, in the book her parents tells her that the man that ran there country, was not placed by God. Marjane, ( who was always told that the ruler was always picked by God) didn't understand, and did not believe it. In my situation, it was closer. then in the book.

Marjane deals with the things that are going on around her by communicating with god, and telling him all of her problems. and like most young children, she turned to her imagination.
