Childhood

Childhood is an important time in your life because it is memories that you will remember forever. You learn from your mistakes and will carry that with you for the rest of your life. The beginning of your life is where your personality is formed and you don't have a care in the world. Does childhood ever end? Yes, in my opinion I think it does. One day you're going to wake up and not have your parents take care and look out for you. You have to be in action in controlling your life and how you want to live.  Your parents and loved ones surrounding you influenced your childhood by the way you were brought up.

In Persepolis, Marjane was living in the Islamic Revolution. At the age of six she was sure she wanted to be a prophet. Her father owned a Cadillac and thought everyone should have a nice car and her grandmothers knees always ached and she didn't like seeing old people suffering. She was raised to believe in god and to trust him.  She told god that she wanted to be a prophet but did want her parents to find out.

Marjane deals with her life with forces she can't control during the war. Marjane was forced to wear a veil at school and couldn't go against it, she couldn't control not to wear it. Her family also decides to stay while the Islamic Revolution was happening and she has to deal with her fear. The army kept marching and throwing stones all day and she had tons of aches on her body. There was no way she could control that and stop the war.
