Final Draft

Persepolis is a book that were written by Marjane Satrapi. She is a Iranian. This book

tells us abou her childhood. She told us the story about Islamic Revolution, the war

between  Iran and Iraq, and the two government in Iran. I am interested in her father.

He is a very important character in the book. He has a mustache and short hair. He is

brave and kind. He is brave when he fight with old government. He is friendly when he

take care of his family. I think he influenced Marjane to seek the truth, and he also

protected her from the bad things. That made Marjane and her father loved each other

so much. But how and why He would do that to Marjane, and how can we know that?

 Marjane  always want to know what is real and what is the lies, because her father

influenced her a lot. At the start of the book everyone in Iran wanted to took the king

down, but one day, Marjane said that she loved the king, because he was chose by

god.Her father was wondering why she would think that way. Then Marjane told him

that school told them the King was chose by god and he was a good person. Then he

told her the truth that the king hurt her grand father a lot then he became the king. I

think when she heard this, she thought school is not always telling the truth. That made

her feeling of knowing truth stronger and stronger.

Her father protected her so hard. For example, at the end of this book he send Marjane

to study aboard. Because she always say somethings are not looked to say that the

government did not want people to know, Marjane’s uncle’s seen kids executed in the

street without even having been judged. He wanted Marjane to know more truth, but he

cannot tell her. Because the more secret she knows the more dangerous she will get in.

That made he worried her a lot, so he send her to study aboard for her safety. That is a

really hard decision, because no one wants to see their children leave them, and they

cannot see them for a long time.

Her father loved each other so much. Because of two example. The first one is that at

the start of the book her teacher told her parents that she said she wants to become a

prophet, but he said it does not matter at all. Another one is that at that time

period government did not allow anything about Punk showing in the public. But she

liked punk so much. Once her father would go abroad, and she asked her father to buy

some post and jacket about pun for her. He did even though it is illegal. He still found

the way that put the post in the coat and put the badge in the shoe.

To be honest, I want a father like him. He loved his child so much,and protect her from

all the bad things from her. The most important thing is that he taught her we should

know the truth. In the real world, some parents have a lot of business to work with, so

they don’t and cannot take care of their children very well. Some of them may just care

the grade that children get. But, we cannot learn everything in the school, and we

cannot make sure what we are learning now is all the truth. So, we cannot become a

adult without learning from parents. How can we become a adult?
