The second part of Persepolis was definitely something. I was quite surprised with Marjane getting married. It seemed to out of character. In the beginning it was like a point that was made that she was a little rebel who was bold and outspoken. She seemed to want to stand out and not fit in. I suppose though, that this was an example of how tight things were during the times and how people were really oppressed. It did work out in a way because it helped her realize she couldn't stay there anymore and just had to get out.
What really bothered me was how her parents knew they should've left the country but they didn't. Marjane's said he didn't want to end up driving a taxi cab. I found that to be really stupid. If they left Iran and got away from all the oppression he could have had a better life as well as his family. He didn't have to get a job as a taxi driver. It was his choice. Like did he really expect his daughter to be better off alone at such a young age?
But overall the book was really good and i enjoyed reading it
