Persepolis reading blogs

Personal connection of the veil
In this section of the book the main character makes an intro of what she is going to talk about during the book. She talks of how religion was been forced on people and how the people reveled especially of her mother. She also talks of how she wanted to be a prophet when she was a little girl, that she was the chosen one by god. My connection is very similar to that, when i was a little kid I believed that god had chosen me and that i was going to have superpowers if i behaved. (Many kids dream of that). My comection to hers is kind of similar just that she wanted to be a prophet i wanted to be a super hero.

Persepolis
In this section of the book the garndmother comes to visit them, she tells how hard her life had been after the shah took everything from them. Then her father comes to he house and tells them how every dead person that entered the hospital was being comsidered a martyr. This reminds me a lot of A Song Of Ice and Fire: A Storm of Swords by George R.R Martin. When the lanisters overthrow the baratheons and every person wearing the Baratheon sigil was considered a hero, but every person wearing a lanister sigil was a reason for attack.

The sheep
In this section of the book the Marjane talks about emigration of the people because of the goverment. The goverment was now an islamic goverment, nobody liked that. She tells how everyone who revolted was now been murdered by the government. Then she tells how her uncle was sent to prison and then murdered. This section of the book reminds me kind of the situation in Venezuela, everyone is moving out of venezuela because they dont like chavez. Chavez is threatening the people that go against him so this section reminds me of chavez.

The passport
In this section a brother of the dad had a heart attack and needed open heart surgery in england. So he needed permision to go and get a passport. When his wife goes to the office where they give permission she discovers that the responsible of that is her old window washer. The man doesnt give her the permission and 3 weeks later the man dies. My questions for this section are: why was the window washer in a high place right now? Why didnt he give permission to get a passport? What role did religion play in this section? Why did the germans sell the toxic weapons and the medicine for the toxic weapons?

The dowry
In this section of the book Marjane gets expelled from her school and is transfered to another, where she speaks out against the religion teacher. Her parents decide that it is better for her to go away to vienna. They tell her that they'll be there in six months, but she realizes that they are lying that they are not coming to visit her. This reminds me of when i was going to camp i was only going for a month and my parents were very sad i cant imagine how it would be for them if i went away for ever.
