In Persepolis, Marjane has to deal with everyday life as a 10 year in a time of revolution. She adapts to this by becoming somewhat more mature and keeping her same childlike view on on the situation. First she learns about exactly whats happening! she keeps her self informed and and current in whats going on around her. She asks alot of questions to her parents and others while digging deep into it and studying it. She even dresses up to help her solve problems. She spends a bunch of time speaking with God in a kinda direct way... Something I know as a 10 year old I rarely did. Marjane seems to just adapt to her everchaning life and maintains.
I'm used to alot of change..infact throghout my life have been moving around alot. I have been to 6 different schools through my entire life. in each of those changes it was a pretty different setting everytime. In each of those moves I have had to overcome gettingg to know people and this has been able to help me become a more diverse person. The biggest challenge in my life has been my grades... I don't think I have had grades I could really be proud of since....6th grade and that was mostly because my mom worked at the school so I made sure to do my best because she was constantly watching me...which is terrible. I picked up some bad habits from other students I used to hang around and its been increidibly tough to dig myself out of this lazy hole. During my sophmore year I joined the track team and I remember that I couldn't have any Fs so I worked and didn't have any problems throught... as soon as track ended my english grade dropped to an F and I had to go to summer school. The next year I was failing @ the begining of the semester so I couldn't even attempt to join I worked my ass off until I was able to join but by the time I did it was too late. I had already lost out and I will forever regret not working harder at the start and missing out on what could have been a great time for me. IN my senoir year I made sure this was not the case and had a mostly a strong finish and end I was able to join the track team and even more so won the Catltholic League 4x100m relay as well as go down state...
If that has taught me anything its to get have a stron start and strong finish.

Last Chance...

Mostly in persepolis Marjane is only dealing with the hard truth that her having any affect on the revolution is possible but much more imporabable. She has to deal with being ten and not being taken seriously. The only hard truth I really recall is that I can't screw up on this bridge program. I have been given a chance and there are no 2nd chances with this so I'm going to make it in one go. Even though my grades haven't been good I know that I'm still in a position to get where I wanted to go and this is my last chance.
