Persepolis blog # 1

   As we start to read " Persepolis " the story takes place in Iran, where it used to be called Persia. Women had to wear a veil because the isalmic revolution said it was obligatory to wear it. Marjane wants to be a prophet because she wants to stop the revolution. People in her school were laughing at her because they thought that she was crazy. Marjane then learns that her grandpa used to be the prince and that he was the one who started the revolution.

 Marjane then learned that when her grandpa was in prison, they would fill up his cell with water which made his skin wrinkled. Marjane hated the revolution and so did her family. Her dad was taking pictures of the things that were happening to people due to the revolution. Marjane and her family were worried that something had happened to him but, he came back with no damage done.
