For example, the main character's parents went on a rally that they don't want to wear the veil and want freedom.
Q:What is Satrapi suggesting about the relationship between past and present, and between national and personal history? What role does her family history, and the stories of her relatives, play in shaping Marji?
A:Satrapi is suggesting that our past can repeat again in this present because now in Irag or Iran the women protest about their equal rights. Through out our history is about war, racisim, and etc. Even nowadays, it is still happening. The racist and equal rights are still going on. The role her family give to her is to give her freedom to do what she want. Let her catch her dreams. The same thing goes for her realtive.They want the young ones to have their freedom and live without fear. Get a chance to go to school and experience what is out there in the world that is yet to come.
Q:What is the role of women in the story? Compare and contrast the various women: Marji, her mother, her grandmother, her school, and teachers, the maid, the neighbors, the guardians of the revolution?
A:Marji she plays a role as a mother. She takes care of her family and don't go out a lot. Her grandmother plays a role like telling her granddaughter that what's right and what is wrong. Her school plays a role as education and knowledge in the book/story.
