The book “Persepolis” is so far about a ten-year-old girl by the name of “Marji” who lives in Iran during the Islamic Revolution in 1979. At this time Marji is very religious and thinks she’s the last prophet of God.  She claims she wants to be a prophet but yet she doesn’t want her parents to know about it, so every time they were to ask Marji what she wanted to be when she gets older she says a doctor. The only person at this time who knows about this is her grandmother.

            After reading this chapter I find it interesting that a little girl at the age of 10 years of age would have her mind made up of wanting to be a prophet. I like that she very religious because I used to be the same way at that age but I never thought about being a prophet, then again my religion and beliefs is different than her. Also I didn’t understand why she couldn’t tell her mom and dad about her true future plans. A situation like this have me think if her parents is as religious as her or if they supportive of what she thinks or believe in to the point that will make her ultimately happy at the end of the day. I can relate to her a lot with being close with her grandma. I’m the same way. My grandmother is life outlet to life in so many different ways. I can tell her just about anything and feel comfortable with it because I know she will support me no matter what.
