Introduction

Body Paragraphs

Marjane tried her best to portray the overall image of Iran and to break stereotypes which outsiders had in their minds about Iran through different stories and events.

· Story of her family (liberal family).

· Stories of friends, classmates, and uncle.

· Feminism (from veil culture to leaving the country).

· Moments of sadness and pain.

· Veil culture had invoked many strikes against the law.

· Political oppression.

Besides defending her opinion, the author has discussed many major issues of the time that are not much complimenting her goal, but these are many important subjects that should be taken into consideration while understanding Iran.

· The brutality of shah with the public.

· Shah's attempts to please the head of the states.

· Islamic revolution.

· Marxism.

This story is about a rebellious girl. There is some reason due to which she developed such behavior with time, and it has parallelism with the life of Iran.

· Marjane's mother had control over her life as dictators had on Iran's life.

· “Your culture had known secularism” (witnessed changing society).

· Societal and class differences.

· Misconception of God, parents, friends and misbehavior with principal.

On the other hand, stories of her life, classmates and her family clearly depict have beautiful cultural of Iran still is.
