In what ways did Marjane find it difficult to fit back into Iranian society? In what ways did this surprise you (or not surprise you)?

While Marjane was gone, she had grown and changed so much into a new person unlike the one she was when she left. I think her changing and going through many stages of her life while she was gone lead her to feel like she wasn't fitting in in Iranian society. While gone, Marjane developed so much so that she felt she didn't belong with people because she now had very different interests. This is showed on page 259 when she saw her old friends and couldn't recall what they had in common before she left. Since Marjane was away from her peers for so long, it made it difficult for her to return and fit right back in again with her community. I am not surprised by Marjane not feeling comfortable or fitting in right away because since she changed so much while she was gone, I didn't expect her to come back and everything be fine again.
