How do you think family plays a role in Marjane's development as a child, person, and/or narrator?
I think family plays a very large role in Marjane's life. I feel like development as a person and her values are very inspired by her family. One example I find very interesting is that her parents were involved politically and had clear views (Satrapi 5). With her parents being like that, it could've led her to think the same kind of way and have strong beliefs, similarly to her parents. I also think her parents could have not only affected her voice, but also affected her views. Even though there are times in the story where she has strong feeling, she may or may not agree with her parents. A lot of the time she feels the same way as her parents but in addition to that, she feels comfortable talking to her parents. I think that Marjane was strongly impacted by her family, no matter the context.
