In my English class last year, the teacher taught this book. The heroine is really distressing, especially seeing her leave the house where her parents watched her go through customs through the glass at the airport. When she finally turned around, her mother fainted. The father hugged the mother, unable to bear to look at his daughter again. The heroine's original family is really good, enlightened parents, and a good family background... This life should have been very wonderful and smooth. until the day the war broke out. The heroine left Iran and went to Austria (it should be Austria, I don't remember). The parents comforted their daughter, saying that they would definitely accompany her soon, but the heroine understood that this was unrealistic. After she went to Europe, she lived under the shelter of others and was bullied by her landlord. She also felt embarrassed about her identity as an Iranian because of environmental reasons. After that, she went to France, where, for the first time, in the cold wind, she slept on a bench on the street; for the first time, she fell in love with a boy and was cheated on; the heroine slowly became taciturn. When the heroine got married, her mother said to her: "I asked you to receive advanced education, not to let you get married and have children so early." I still remember the heroine crying, "I want to go back to Iran." "Then come back. Right." Mother replied. Later, the political situation continued to be turbulent, and the heroine returned to France and engaged in the comics industry. Really distressed, the underage girl, dragging her suitcase by herself, kept tossing around in different countries. She was by her parents' side since she was a child, she was spoiled by her parents, she lived in a high-level intellectual family in Iran since she was a child, and she was also a high-income family. In the past ten years, she has never suffered such grievances. If not for the war.

    The animation is good, but the story, narrative, characters, and value proposition are a bit overwhelming. . As a viewer, I actually want to see more about the current situation in Iran, but the author obviously wants to write an autobiography, so the focus is different. Moreover, the author's narrative logic and political orientation are very American, which leads to an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and I don't expect this kind of familiarity. It may also be a necessary compromise to enter the mainstream view.

    "Where there is freedom, there is my motherland", this simple sentence is expensive, because the choice of voting with your feet requires expensive travel expenses. Fortunately, the hostess has a wealthy family and can travel freely between Iran and Europe. When I saw a barrage saying "You can actually come to China", I sincerely wish him to live here in the next life. A book I was reading said that the emperors of Europe could not just tear down the mills of the common people because of the practice palace. Because of their natural human rights, no one can insult and crush another person at will. If it is for freedom, everything can be thrown away. These words jumped out of the textbook, and now that I understand it a little bit, the words are as heavy as gold, like boulders.

Persepolis quotes

  • Marjane as a teenager: You say that our scarfs and trousers are indecent and that we put on make up, etc. As an art student, I'm often in the studio. I need to move freely in order to draw. A longer scarf will hinder me. As for our trousers, you say they're too wide even though they hide our shape. Since these trousers are in fashion right now, I ask, is religion defending our physical integrity or is it simply opposed to fashion? You criticise us, yet our brothers all have different hair and clothes. Sometimes they wear clothing so tight, we can see their underwear. Why is it that me, as a woman, should their tight clothes have no effect on me, while they should be aroused by a shorter scarf?

  • Marjane's grandmother: So you're French, now?

    Marjane as a teenager: Nana, stop it.

    Marjane's grandmother: No no, I'm just asking, is all. I didn't know you were French.

    Marjane as a teenager: Do you think it's easy being Iranian here? The moment I say where I'm from, they look at me like I'm a savage. They think we're all bloodthirsty, violent, loud fanatics.

    Marjane's grandmother: Do you think that's any reason to deny your roots? Do you remember what I told you? Be true to yourself.
