What I found in Persepolis was a great connection of Marjane with her family. Even though the most of her connections with her friends were failed, her strong relations with her family led her to more mature and successful life. I was thinking about my own family while thinking of Marjane’s. Her grandmother resembles mine when she always on her side supports her and misses her. Her mother portrayed as a very normal and ideal mother who is being supportive, sometimes scold at her but most of the time being a friend and share the thoughts with daughter. Her father was like a distant teacher of her, In the scene ‘the wedding’, Marjane’s father knew that they are not made for each other, but he was playing supportive and wanted her to realize by herself through the experience. Family members of Majane’s were so sweet and it was good to see parents respect their daughter’s decisions and believe in her.
Persepolis 2 made me to think back of my life when I first came to U.S. Like Marjane in ‘Tyrol’, because I was good in math (compare to other subject), I made some friends by tutoring them. Moreover, in the scene ‘the soup’, I agree with my experience that people who speaks other languages can easily be a friend, if they open their eyes to find the common thing to share, because people sense closeness to others when they find something in common.
