Persepolis Paper

                                             Persepolis essay


  Persepolis’s author is Marjane Satrapi who was born in Iran, and she wanted to use this book

to let more people know the history about the Iran. Persepolis talk about a girl’s  life

experience. The girl’s name is Marjane, she was born in Iran. She likes the history of Iran.

She has a cozy family including her parents, her grandmother and her. Her grandmother is a

important character in this book, because she influence Marjane to become a good Iran

person. Because she always tells Marjane some important truth of the history.

  Grandmother has white hair, and she always wear a pearl necklace. She wear a black dress.

If we just look at her appearance, she just a ordinary person. But she is a important character

in Persepolis. The reason why she is so important is that she always tells Marjane some

views on her life. For example, when grandmother was young, Shan’s father took everthing

they owned. She lived in Poverty. Grandmother had only bread to eat. She was so ashamed

that she pretended to cook so that the neighbors would’t notice anything. Marjane was so sad

when she hear about that, and she hate Shan’ father.

  Sometimes Marjane’s grandmother is very funny in the family. One day, lots of people

demonstrations and protests on the street. The police shoot a person who demonstrations

and protests on the street, and that person was died. People called him martyr. Marjane’

grandmother hear about this thing, and said if she die now at least she will be a martyr.

Because she also oppose the government. But Marjane do not understand what is it mean,

and she think that person died because of cancer.

  Marjane’s grandmother is very kind. Marjane slept with her grandmother when she will went

to other country. Her grandmother gived her some helpful advices. Marjane’ s grandmother

said Marjane will meet los of jerks. If they hurt Marjane, tell yourself that it is because they are

stupid. Always keep your dignity and be ture to yourself. Marjane was very sad when she will

leave her family. Her grandmother also sad, because she loves Marjane, and she wanted

Marjane to have a good time in Austria.

  Marjane’s grandmother is very clecer. One day, Marjane’ parents, Marjane and her

gandmother will go home by car. When they went home on the way, some guys who has a

gun asked them to halt. Then, the guy think Marjane’s father been drinking, and they want to

check Marjane family’s house. Marjane’s grandmother want to go in house first, when they

arrive there. But the guy disagree that, then Marjane’s grandmother pretend her sick. After

that, Marjane and her grandmother throw all wine. So, I think Marjane’ grandmother is very

clever.

  Marjane’s grandmother loves Marjane and her family. She don’t want her family to stay in he

dangerous place. She was kind and funny in the life, but she was brave in the dangerous

time. Marjane learned some skills. For example, her granmother told her “be ture to yourself

and that nothing was worse than bitterness and vangeance”. It is means you should know

who you are everytime. Do not forget where are you from. I like Marjane in this book, but I

prefer her grandmother. That is because her grandmother can make a clear distinction

between right and wrong. She always lead the family to do some important things. I think she

likes a guard to protect the Marjane.
