In the story Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi is about the life story of a girl of ten, Satrapi. The story starts when she is ten and ends when she is twenty two. Satrapi is born into a loving family in Tehran during the Islamic revolution.she faces many challenges in her life and sometimes makes the wrong one. I think that Satrapi has to make many decisions in life and she makes them out of pure pressure.
I think that Satrapi makes her decisions based off of pure pressure. In the book it says that, " I snapped off most of my hair, then I added some thick I liner. At last I was finished. I look like as if I am goth." This proves that she is making herself change even if she doesn't want to. Another quote from the text is, " once again, I went back to Iran and made myself the perfect Iranian woman." This shows that Satrapi is changing yet again. She wants freedom not to be trapped in her country. " once my friends came and greeted me they all looked different. So from then on I changed my appearances to look like them." This shows that she is like any other teen that would change their personality for anything.
This claim connects to me personally because sometimes in elementary school I wanted to change who I was so I could be popular. I almost once did , but after my mother gave me a talk like what Satrapi's parents did to her, too. This connects to teens because pure pressure makes us do things we would never do on our own. We wouldn't smoke with our so called "friends". We teens are very emotionally sensitive when it comes to popularity.
