Day 6 by Salt

Day 6 Teri B.
In the book Persepolis the character can’t deal with her emotions when it comes to teachers and people talking falsehoods about the war. By Marjane knowing so much about the war first hand from her family she knows more than the other kids. This is not a bad thing but the more you know the more you can say or have to say. Marjane was taking full advantage of this knowledge as she tells her teacher off about the truth of the Islamic Regime and it’s mishaps. ( Page 144, Persepolis) Her fellow class mates gave her a round of applause but she also got a phone call home.
This situation however includes my characters first run in with abandonment. Her parents fearing for their daughter s future and education decides it’s time for a change. It was a sacrifice but Marjane’s brain needed more worldly things to be fed into it. Her parents lets her know she will be going to school in Austria to better her education. This was devastating to Marjane but this abandonment couldn’t be abandoned. Which I believe anyone growing up in Persepolis during this time could understand completely.
In my life I grew up fatherless. My father abandoned me when my mother told him that she wasn’t going to abandon me two weeks after I was conceived. So, this meant I came into the world with one parent and know manly figure to teach me how to be a man. With this back drop however I’m not at all scared of anything and if I ever had children I would be there from point A to point B. I forgive him totally though. Whenever I see him again I would most assuredly give him a big hug and try to establish a relationship.
