Final draft

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

tells us about her childhood. She tells 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 fights with the old government. He is friendly when he

takes care of his family. I think that 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. However how and why he would do that to Marjane, and how can we know that?

  Marjane wants to know what is real and what is lies, because her father

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

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

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

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

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

think when she heard this, she thought that school does not always tell 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 sends Marjane

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

government did not want people to know, Marjane’s uncle has 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 secrets she knows the more danger 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 her so much, because of two examples. 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

periodgovernment 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 waht we are learning now is all the truth. So, we cannot become a

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