The we should always know: Truth

  "One can forgive but one should never forget."---Marjane Satrapi This a sentence on the third page. I think this is the massage she is trying to convey. I think the mean of is that everyone should know the truth, even though it may be a bad crime. She tells us by three ways. The first is that she told all the real stories that we cannot know from the history book. The second one is that she is telling all of this by telling us the people around her. The last one is that she create a character god who is always say the truth.

  What part is that we cannot see in the history book? I find two things in the book, that I have never see in the history book. The first one, It is about her grand father. At start her father was the king, but the king was in Iran when Majane was a child, he took the power from her grand father. Another one is that the government in Iran told young and poor boys that if they die in the world with the "gold key", they would go the the heaven. In fact, the gold key was made by plastic and they colored it gold. 

  The relationship between characters and the role they play are very interesting. For example, Marjane's father is the one who always teach Marjane the truth and protect her. Another instance is that her uncle told her about the politics , however she was a little girl. That tells us whatever you are old or young , male or female you should know the truth.

  Last, I want to talk about the god. He is not a true man in the world, so why the author would create a unreal character? I think the character god is the way that author define justice and evil. As we know the character Marjane likes religon so much. So god is always right. Actually, god tells Marjane everything whatever good or bad. He just tells her the truth. This tells us we should never lie to anyone. We tell only the truth.

  I can feel how strong Marjane seek the truth, and this is the reason why she write this book. She wants more and more people to know what happened in Iran. She also helps the whole world to tell the truth.
