Bryan:living in Iran for Marjane has come to be very irritating for her when it comes to rules and laws that are being made. it is mandatory for woman/girls to wear a veil when they leave the house or out in public with their family, this is said the very 1st page of the book. and when it comes down to the girls down here we don't have to wear things to cover our hair or our body, i mean some do and some don't but that's our decision to make and no body Else's.
also on page 95 they say at school they would have to beat their breast in mourning of the soldiers and adults go to the extreme when it came to that for them. they would hit them selves with chains and go very far on practically taking their own life.(p96). hitting themselves became the country's rituals. things like that here we don't do, when we mourn for our soldiers we go and have a ceremony in their honor and we pray for the soldiers that are alive and pray for the families that have lost their loved one.
i think when it comes to my culture i believe that i am open to others things then besides whats in my background or whatever, i believe what its right to me, i have the privilege to think what i want and I'm taking that to the heart no matter what.
Robert:i am reading Persepolis as well and i don't think they are giving up on things they believe in i think its the fact that they have tried to end things and people still didn't listen. they still believe in what they believe in, its just for now they are dealing with what they have to do because its the law and in order to be safe for every ones family they must adjust to what has to be done. they done feel too proud of it but they still have their beliefs that keeps them going. they have only changed that they tell people they pray 50 times a day and they take their veils when they are in the house its things like this they want to tell people what they want to hear yet they know where they stand.
