Persepolis Blog 1

   The book so far seems to surround the facts about religion, gender, and superiority. In the begining, Marjane mentioned that all girls had to wear these very religious veils shading their faces and bodies from everyone else. It was enforced by a supposed superior individual, the emperor? Throughout the story, the main character mentioned several times that she wanted to be a prophet for the all-seeing God who supposedly visited her before she slept. There even came up a conversation between this young girl and her father abouit god . He explained how it was not God who also supposedly chose the current ruler to be so. That he chose himself in place of her granfather's own father. Therefore concluding that her own grandfather was, in fact, a prince.Marji wished to know more but was denied. She was told that her family was frghtened for him as he would oftenget arrested.This she learned from her own mother and clearly understood the hurt they must have experienced as they were during the revolution.

  

Six Day Memoir Final Draft

"Was called stupid. Sarcastically, .......

JUST SUBLIME!!!!"

   I guess what inspired me was the fact that my brother is a total weenie sometimes. At home, my brother and I mess with each other a lot and we tend to call each other names. Obviously, his choice is to always call me "stupid". It would be more hurtful if it weren't such a commonly used word. And if I hadn't always called him a "weenie" in response. Sarcasm is a game I really enjoy playing because it is just so smurfin' fun to annoy and confuse people. Especially parents. I knew I wanted to write something funny, first of all. Well, something I would find laugh worthy. Or a sarcastic laugh at the least.
   I also wrote it as a mini tribute to a band, Sublime With Rome, as I seriously enjoy listening to their music. It was the perfect word to add so.....I added it. I hope it doesn't sound too weird. Nah...It's fine.
