Dear Marji

I was surprised what you have gone through as kid. The war against Iraq had a big impact on you, your family and your friends; not enough food and gas to go around the country. People were scared that they might die so the fought and argued with one another, and especially your dad, he lost controlled over his emotions and yelled at you. I would never expect what your country is going through tough times with such brutal rules that are forced upon your people. Girls have to wear veil, they can’t walk with any men they pleased, either they have to be with the brother or the dad of the girl. Your people don’t really have much freedom. I thought your country would have as much freedom as us but your country is being controlled by a tyrant and your grandpa had to flee to the other country just for the sake of his life. Although in the end, your grandpa ended up in prison. Also, I’m really sorry to hear that the boy you loved had left you. Persepolis is a great book; everyone in the world should read it because in that book holds the truth about Iran. Iran is not a terrorist country, but they have a corrupt society.
