Persepolis

In this chapter Marji asks her grandmother about her grandfather. Her grandma, instead of answering Marji's questions, she started to tell her about the Shah. Marji doesn't care about the topic that grandma is talking about, so she gets mad. She really wants to know about her grandpa, not the Shah. They talked for a long while and they left to the kitchen to wait for Marji's dad. Hours pass and he doesn't appear. Everyone starts to get very worried until her dad comes back home. They where so relieved that he was home that they felt the excitement in the air. As soon as he gets there, he starts telling a tale about some revolutionists who thought that this dead old man was a man killed because of racism but his wife told them that he had just died as an old man. This revolutionists where very racist people, so they had said that the Shah was the "murderer", so she joined the protesting. The girl's family found it like a big joke, unlike her but she still laughed. This reminds me of my little cousins. We where once at a family reunion and we sit by groups. I sat with my older cousins and the little ones came along. He was telling this funny story which made me and my older cousins laugh. My little cousins made awkward faces and then just laughed along. When I read this chapter I thought a lot of that time with my little cousins. They act a lot like Marji.
