In perseoplis marjane had to directly deal with a violent revolution happening around her. Violence was literally right outside her door and really directly affected her everyday. As a child thats a huge burden to have in life but she delt with it like an adult in a childlikeway. She shows maturity and shows that shes still a kid. Marjane deals with most of her problems by going to her room and speaking with God. She tried her best to try and feel exactly what her grandfather felt when he was in a prison of water by staying the bath tub. She wants to feel empathy which at that age is weird. She even wants to be a prophet to better her own world so she @ the age of ten is forming opinoins and views of a poltical situation.
I don't deal very much with the war that the US. is involved in. I'm very removed from most politcs. I never watch the news and when I do hear about something about the war it usually goes through one ear and out the other. from what I know I'm not able to make this into much sense, SINCE the acutal meaning for the war in the first place is unclear. I don't have many ppl acutally involced in the war so although it probably has some affect on me it goes unnoticed. But even when I have to deal with other events in life such as korea I take a page out of persepolis and go to my room.
