Recommendation: I recommend this book for individuals that like learning about everyday life for a child during Islamic Revolution. I liked it, made me realize how good we have it today.
“For a Revolution to succeed, the entire population must support”
Persepolis, by Marjane Satrapi is a memoir of her life during the islamic Revolution from ages six to fourteen, the triumph of this, and the devastating effects of war in Iraq.
At the age ten, she was forced to wear a veil to school by those that wanted the cultural revolution. Her French non-religious school is abolished and boys and girls are separated for education.
The author believes that one day she will be the last prophet. She has conversations with god in which she imagines someday there will be freedom and equality, when she announces these ideas, she gets ridiculed and laughed at. Although she gets doubted she keeps her hope that she will someday be a symbol for justice, love, and the wrath of god.
Over all i like the book because it made me realize the hardships and struggles during this time.
