Persepolis is a very interesting book. During the time of the Islamic revolution it was a law to wear a veil. There was no apparent reason, they were just forced to wear it. Marjane's mother was a demonstrator so she constantly broke the law by not wearing the veil. One day a journalist took a picture of her and put it on the newspaper so she had to disguise herself when she was out of her home so that she would not get in trouble. Marjane wants to be a prophet because she talked to God and she felt that some things weren't right like the maid not eating with the rest of the family.

Marjane and god were like friends because they had lots of conversations. Marjane learns that one of her grandpa's was a prince turned communist.
