Things start to get darker and darker. It is interesting to see how Marji writes from her privileged position but she recognizes that for those in poorer conditions than her and her family, life was worse. What they were doing to the poor boys was just crazy.

In powerful black-and-white comic strip images, Satrapi tells the story of her life in Tehran from ages six to fourteen, years that saw the overthrow of the Shah’s regime, the triumph of the Islamic Revolution, and the devastating effects of war with Iraq. The intelligent and outspoken only child of committed Marxists and the great-granddaughter of one of Iran’s last emperors, Marjane bears witness to a childhood uniquely entwined with the history of her country.
Persepolis paints an unforgettable portrait of daily life in Iran and of the bewildering contradictions between home life and public life. Marjane’s child’s-eye view of dethroned emperors, state-sanctioned whippings, and heroes of the revolution allows us to learn as she does the history of this fascinating country and of her own extraordinary family. Innocence with what she portrayed the and what she was told and learn show us the upbringing and love for roots and history of the country. This also shows the polarization they went through and how civil war seep among them.
Intensely personal, profoundly political, and wholly original, Persepolis is at once a story of growing up and a reminder of the human cost of war and political repression. It shows how we carry on, with laughter and tears, in the face of absurdity. And, finally, it introduces us to an irresistible little girl with whom we cannot help but fall in love

Aquel primer cigarro me sacaba definitivamente de la infancia. Ya era mayor.
