Day 13-Renita

Jordan-
In persepolis Marjane gets kicked out of her school so her parents, comes up with the idea of sending her far away it will keep her safe. He parents dont want to send her away i think her mother just thinking about the idea of sending her away is a horror to her. On the last page of the book (153 and 154) Marjanes parents are at the air port with her. They act as if their excited but really their towrn. They know they will never see their daughter again. Marjane feels confident when she see's how excited they are for her. Once her parents leave and she turns around 1 last time she see's her mother has fainted, and MArjane says "I couldnt just go", but she had to. Sending your child away is not going to stop them from being a trouble maker but it will protect her child from all of the bombing. When I was in 4th grade i move to the suburbs. I didnt want to leave all of my friends and go somehwere i knew nothing about. I cried and argued with my mom. I even pult the "well you go and ill just stay here". Believe me that didnt work but at my age right now i am happy i moved to the suburbs. Thre was nothing good around my old neighborhood. When i went to visit my old neighborhood, all the girls were either pregnant, on drugs or an alcholic, and not in school. I dont understand how put dont care their future and becomming successful. Yes life is tuff but its jus a cycle that God put us through to make us stronger and to teach us. The girl looked up to me as if i was some sort of savior because I attended an all girls catholic school. Instead of being prouf for me they began to put me down and say I changed. I told them I didnt change I just matured and I want a future.
