Persepolis


Persepolis

In the chapter Persepolis Marjane discovers some old family secrets. She discovers that her grandfather was put in jail. She learns about how cruel the Kings of Iran really were. And with that she learns that the kings control the government, and the government controls the people. Which means that the government doesn’t want the citizens speaking. 

This chapter reminded me of the book Sarah’s Key. It reminded me of this book in many ways. For starters the family in Sarah’s Key also had a secret that not many in the family knew about. Another reason why it relates is because, governments all around Europe controlled the people. Argo people in Europe were not allowed to speak up. They had to keep their opinion and their way of life “hidden”; just like in Persepolis.
