To Whom It May Concern:,
I am currently a freshman at Cal State La. In my English class I’ve been reading this book called Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. In the book they talked about the veil, womens rights, and the separation of class during the 80’s in Iran. Marjane was living thru the Iranian Revolution and also the war between Iran and Iraq. Marjane is someone that everyone can relate to in some way or another. She is 10 years old but she has the mentality of an adult I say this because just 10 years old and she was protesting in the streets and the fact that she wants everyone to be treated the same shows how mature she is. Marjane would get together with her friends and act as Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, and other famous revolutionaries. Her family isn’t traditional they are more modern just like how my family. I really enjoyed reading this book because it’s some what close to our age and we can relate to many situations even though we didn’t grow up in the same area or same year but grew up with the same type of believes. Which is doing what I believe is right and standing up for myself. I just like how Marjane stands up for what she believes just like how she would stand up for her women rights. I can’t imagine covering all of body and my face with a veil or the fact that men would treat the women as property, not as human being.
Sincerely,
