Meg's Persepolis Week One- Feedback

Mr. McGuigan said:
I thought the idea of the devil "framing" her family on pg.43 was really interesting. Also, that her parents had their eyes closed, and she was looking straight at the audience. I definitely did not think about the eyes or Marjane.

I liked Gabe's idea of this ying yang symbol for the 1st panal on pg. 6. I didn't agree completely with Geneva's idea that Marjane prefers the regular side than the religious side.

On *Fion and Alice's Blog":
"Is Marji not behaving what her private self tells her to?"

I think Marji is behaving like her private side, but in a controlled way. For example, Marji has a holy book, and follows the first three rules from Zarathustra. She also wants to celebrate Zarathustrain holidays. However, she only tells her Grandmother about the holy book. I believe this could be because on pg.6, Marjane is a little embarassed that her family's maid didn't eat with them, and that her father had a cadillac. I believe Marjane desperately wanted to become a part of the world that she didn't understand. Marjane (pg.3) didn't understand why she had to wear the veil. Also, she was seperated from her friends. (pg.4)Her mother had to dye her hair and disguise herself for being published during a demonstration against the veil. So, Marjane, a young girl, thought the most she could do was become a prophet. Later on pg.17, Marjane cries in bed without God because her parents refuse to let her go to a demonstration. This is why Marjane keeps most of the religion inside, because she is afraid that her parents won't let her.
