The Veil

This chapter was the introduction of the book. It was in the time when the religions stood out and made a bigger part of life than what they do now. In Marji's time, the people in her religion had to stand out and follow their beliefs, even if she didn't wanted to. Marji is a girl with a very different point of view that the people in that period of time. She wanted to be the 1st female profit, which made it harder for her because of the fact that she was a girl. In this chapter you could see that the men where the authority or the source of power of the time. This reminded me of the book "the Iliad" because here the main characters are men. The fighters and the strong ones where men. I find this very stereotypical, just like in is book. Men aren't always the source of authority, and I think that that is a factor that Marji is trying to point out.
