1. The book Persepolis
suggests that stories shape and
give meaning to Satrapi’s experience by giving more details of what was really
going on. Stories give us more information as well as the truth of different things
going on in life and behind closed doors. Her uncle Anoosh’s story and her grandfather’s
story tell us how prisoners were tortured and how much people suffered during
the war. Niloufar’s story also shows the struggles faced when families became
separated during the war.
2. As a child Satrapi’s dream was to become a prophet. After
the troubles and the terrors she faced growing up, during the war, she lost her
faith towards god. I do, although, agree with the statement. Without intention
she has become a voice that speaks to the rest of us. Prophets tell the truth
and say how one should live. In the book Persepolis
she has brought messages to all of us. Those messages are to love each
other, fight for each other, and respect each other. She also reminds us of
what is important in life.
3. The book suggests that separating people based on their
social class was wrong. In the story “The Letter” Satrapi learns how people
were judged based on where their social class stood. Satrapi’s maid was
forbidden to marry the next door neighbor due to the fact that she belonged to
the lower class. Satrapi believes that everyone should be equal with the same
rights. In the story “The Key” young teenage boys from poor areas were
brainwashed to be sent to war. Many boys were given a key and made them believe
that it would open the door into heaven.
