persepolis prompt 1

    Marjane's relationship with her uncle was very important because she considered him a hero. She was jealous of some of her friends because they had family that were war heroes and family that was tortured in prison and her father experienced none of these things. She was disappointed because she had no amazing stories to tell to her friends about the life of her father. Her uncle had a life filled with hardship so she now had stories to tell to her friends about. She could tell them that her brave uncle endured prison and torture for years. Also he was family that she had not previously met and they could share points about their lives with each other. Her uncle is an interesting person as well, so that may have contributed to it.
