  This book talk about a girl who born in Iran. Her name is Marjane. When she was young, Iran's government was chaotic. Then Iran and Iraq are in the war. Marjane and her family always in the danger. when she grow up, all the women and girl should wear the veil, because it can shield their face. One day, she told off her teacher. Her father and mother don't want her in the danger, they send Marjane to other country.
  First, I think the author want to tell some truth about the Iran. For example, Marjane's uncle was in the prison, he beared lots of pain. He told Marjane his experience and his life that in the prison. He is a good person, but he was executed in the prison, and this news on the newspaper. They think kill people who oppose this government is a right choose. Second, the author want to show us the love that in the family. When the Iran fight with Iraq, lots of aircraft assault the place that Marjane and her parents living. One day, Marjane was go shopping with her friends, a bomb explode near their house. She was very scare, and she ran to her house. Her mother saw her and embrace with Marjane. I think this thing can prove they love each other. Third, the author wants to tell we should love our country. Marjane has a grandmother, and her grandmother always told her should love our country. Sometimes, Marjane did't achieve this.
  The author's name is Marjane Satrapi, the girl's who is in the book name is Marjane. I think the author's life is similar with the girl's life. The author was born in Iran. She undergo all the war. She used a story to tell us the history of Iran. I think reader can understand the history by reading this book, and understand the meaning of it. This book contains great details of Iran's ethnic background, and readers have to understand the stories in order to get them.
  The most important thing that the author wants the readers to know Iran's history, and he uses a great way to do it which was mentioned above. People wouldn't want to know about the information if the author just give them by listing it below. However, making the character shows them is easier because readers can has the same feelings with the character.
