The book Persepolis the main character Marjane behavior in the first page and page 4 she didn't really understand why her and her classmates had to wear the veils and be separated from her friends. And on page 6 her character deep down is very religious when she said she was born at prophet and was the last prophet and in her religion her and her family celebrated the Zarathustrian holidays in a fire ceremony. And she wanted to become a prophet for reason like Marjane wanted her maid to eat wit her family, and because her dad had a Cadillac, but most of all because her grandmother knees always ached she didn't want elder people to suffer. And on page 8 Marjane imagines every night she has big discussion with her God about becoming a prophet. To her God is real in her mind. And when her parents ask her what does she want to be when she grows up she says a doctor her behavior seems confusing because she is hiding her true feelings to them. And deep down in her mind she will tell God that she wants to be a prophet but they mustn't know. And her character is intelligent because for her being ten she knows half of the things around her about the revolution her parents think she doesn't know and Marjane is always asking questions about what goes on during the riot.On page 20 her dad tells her that she is old enough to understand certain things about the history background of her grandfather how he was prime minister and a communist. Also he was sent to prison and tortured and was often in prison. And a other character that her behavior changed on page 24 and 25 the mother told Marjane when she was little she will go visit her dad in prison she was sad knowing that her father suffered. And on page 25 Marjane lays in the bathtub God asked her what is she doing she says she wants to know how it felt to be tortured in a cell full of water because of her grandfather they used to torture him that way. When she got out of the tub her hands were wrinkled. Marjane behavior seemed as if she was serious even with God. And her behavior changes differently on page 53 when she went back at home and felt the diabolical of power. Her feeling changed shew felt overwhelmed at started crying to her mother. Her mother said to not worry there would be justice on earth. Marjane felt safe in the arms of her friend God.

My parents influence me to make choices in my life that I wont regret because they don't want me to make the wrong choices. Even though some choices I did but nobody is perfect I made mistakes in my life and I learned from them. And I also made good choices in my life that I thank myself and my parents for helping through good times and hard times. They have both gave me advice about problems I had and sometimes when they will tell me something I always thought they were wrong. But deep down I knew they were right and supported me no matter what. My parents divorced when I was a baby so I grew up with my mom she raised me in a urban neighborhood. And I sometimes saw my dad on the weekends my mom was and still is strict when it came to rules of the house like doing chores,homework,curfew, and being respectful and obey her rules. Even though I thought her rules were to much I still obeyed them. Without my mom I probably would be somewhere else she is my biggest role model. And my dad is too even though we sometimes get into arguments about me going out with my friends and have a early curfew. But I understand what my dad means he just wants me to know what could happen out in the city. And even though I sometimes ignored him deep down I knew my parents were right that is why I am blessed to have them with me taking care of me. Sometimes I talk to my dad he travels a lot he is always busy He calls me though whenever he gets a chance. I just want to make sure he is alright it worries me though. Overall my parents had sacrifice so much for me in my brothers and my sister I thank them and tell them they influence me to do better in my life and make choices that will take me to education and become successful and have a good future and to become what I want to pursue in my goals and career in college. I just have to be the one doing it nobody is going to tell me what decision to make I do when it comes down to school and other things that is why I choose to make good decisions for myself as a young adult.
