Sooo Persopolis was a book that hit me kind of deep to think that the autor is roughly the same age as my mother and hearing some of the things she had to go through was pretty amazing to me i thought nothing like this had been going on for 50 years or better but reading this book i almost felt like they were talking about the 40's or something. I had never really thought people lived this strictly in the 80s. The part to me that is so stupid is the family in the book obviously hates what is going on in their country and apparently they have enough money to leave but they refuse too.. i mean i guess it would detract from the story if on page 3 they said "and they just moved to the united states" but whatever it made me look at my life in a different way. a little bit...

Well, I guess you could leave the country (and Satrapi eventually did), but maybe they were hoping that it would get better eventually. Loving your country makes you put up with a lot of weird compromises.
