Persepolis Book vs. Movie

I liked reading the book Persepolis by Marji Satrapi as much as I liked watching the movie. I noticed that there was some important characters in the book that were not mentioned in the movie such as the family's maid.

Merhi in the book was an important character in the book. She came to live with Marji's family because her own family couldn't support her. There was even a whole chapter about her and how she fell inlove with the neighbor's son. He sent her a letter and she wanted to write back but she couldn't because she didn't know how to. Marji decided to write it and got caught by her father. Merhi and the neighbor shouldn't comunicate because they are from different social classes.

This was not included in the movie and I thought this was such a good sence to watch, especially because it was a pretty big sence in the book. This scene was important in the book because it taught Marji about the different social classes and how people can only love people within their class, it would be wrong to love someone from a different social class.
