Persepolis p.62-102

The Sheep...BAAA-AA-AAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAA-AAAAAA:
I thought revolutions were meant to bring a better future, but instead people were leaving the country, like some of Marj's relatives and friends, in fear of incoming danger. Well, sadly the danger does occur: family friends die, Anoosh is imprisoned and is executed, etc. In this chapter, God slowly disappears from Marjane's life because of the reality of death and danger brought by the religious war.

===BZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTT======
Making it short:
- War can make people's faith in religion waver.
- War is instant and can take you by surprised.
- The new government brainwashes children: new national anthem and dance, boys given key to heaven and forced to go to war.



I know what your thinking. THEIR BACKWARDS TEACHING IS TOO STRONG.


AHH MAN, WHY AM I SUMMARIZING? Alright, enough with that monotone ya-da, ya-da. Let's talk about some REAL stuff.

LOGIC  =/=
Iraq invades Iran for a religious reason: God, right? Then what's all this killing, persecution, and containment being forced upon the people by this new government, religious order. who proclaim they bring "peace" to their country?
What is the deal with these people? Women are forced to wear veils, education is canceled or severely filtered, and children are brainwashed to believe in their new "country"?
