Robert; Yes, In Persepolis there are rare occasions when walking outside of the comfront of their doorstep is fearful. This, of course was before Iraq bombed their country. For example, on p.89 of the text, it shows/tells how people had to flee their homes because staying their would only result in death. Im sure this was scary for the citizens because they had to leave their lives behind, and there were bombs targeted at there area. The situation isnt getting any better, but as the saying goes " its gonna get worst before it gets better". The only thing that makes them feel better during the horrible time in their lives is that they have eac other. Many people in the country have lost someone but they have't and they're thankful! When i leave out the house i dont usually fear anything around me now. When i was little, i used to live in one of the roughest parts of detroit, so i saw a lot of things and i became accustom to them, so now it doesnt faze me seeing or hearing certain things that would make other people fearful. The world is a scary place so i just look up and never let it get me down. I do fell safe, even though its not safe.

Sarah;We are all connected as people because regardless if we want to realize it, we have many of the same characteristics and instincts. We may see someone and think that we are completely different, but once we sit and listen to their story, we start to understand and see that they aren't as different as we thought. Like in Persepolis on pg.138 when a missle had exploded in her neighborhood and she was not at home with her family she ran straight home. Dropped evryhting she was doing to see about her family. Thats something i believe everybody would do, especially when it comes to their family. I know I would react the same way she did. Our daily actions determine who we are, like Marji read everyday, it made her smart and comprehensive.
