In the book Persepolis it showed me a lot of meaning about the revolution, and focusing in the Middle Eastern way of life. This book was an autobiography book written by Marjane Satrap who tells her story of childhood in Iran. This was where she was born, lived and went trough the Iran and Iraq war and partly the Iranian revolution. Towards reading the book I noticed that she lived trough many different stages of live. Around the year 1980 she was attending a school that was none secular. Her family and MarJi’s were always different with the tradition of their country requirements and religions. This was the cause of marJi’s parents sending her to Austria to further her education. Her parents couldn't be veritable and discreetly from getting things into their country Iran. During the time there was an embargo with Iran and they had smuggled things into the country which was a crime.
Later on when the U.S. Embassy was occupied by fundamentalist, the Iran-Iraq war started. Iran was really upset and wanted to beat Iraq and in most schools they began to encourage all these young boys. They technically brain washed them and all these boys were being drafted in the Iran army, becoming martyrs. This was one of the biggest effects in the country because a lot of moms where suffering by having their kids being send to the war. MarJi’s maid was one of them because her fourteen year old kid had been told that the key that he was given was for the entrance of paradise. Afterwards Iran and Iraq were in war had a reservoir of all potential soldiers waiting, oil and more stuff. The Iranian government decadent denied peace with Iraq because it was deserved. Her parents were clandestine because they had attended to parties with alcohol and they fear to be caught because alcohol was one of the majority things that were illegal during the revolution. MarJi’s was to explain what the ancient world believed Black Friday as. Many people who were demonstrating were massacred but, all these people were proletariat.
Personally I think that when MarJi’s was sent to Vienna many cool things happen to her and it was a good benefit that she took and see how she is really thankful of her parents. She goes out of her country but keeps educating her self. Where she learned many things and discovers her passion to be in her future. She studied in many different countries and that’s where she gets an idea of creating an autobiography but her dream was to hit the states. After a while comes back to Vienna where she lived and begins on writing her autobiography of her youth. Her images where just realistic since she lived trough it she knew their feelings and faces expressions. Once her book was done impacts publishers directors everything which becomes really globalizes all over and gets to the United States. After completing the book and while the reading it Persepolis was a fantastic realistic book it really did impacted me since it had the meaning of a truth story. I like the fact how the images go with the text and the text with the images like both have to be combined because with out one of them the text wouldn’t be understandable. There was a lot of times where I will put my self into the character shoes to have the connection with her through out her text that I did enjoy as a piece of lesson.
