Dear Marji,

I am very proud of you. I admire you because of how brave and strong you were through all of the cary stuff that was going on around you. At first when I was reading your book I got frustrated and upset, because I didn't really understand most of the things you were tslking about. I began to understand your book more after my english teacher made us do a little bit of research, so that way we could be able to understand it better. I didnt know alot of stuff about Iran until after a finished reading your book. The chapter that I liked the most was "The Cigarette". I thought it was funny and informative at the same time. It let me know alittle bit about you. I also liked the fact that you used a cigarette to mark the begining of your adult hood, because I did the same thing along with other stuff, but thats not important. Well overall I really enjoyed reading your book. I loved it so much that I told my friends about it that know their reading your book.
