What significant event took place in Iran in 1979 what aspect of little Marjis life is affected the most during this transition. What similarities do you see between this account and Marina nemats account?

1979 was the Islamic Revolution. Satrapi notes that since 1979, Iran has largely been discussed “in connection with fundamentalism, fanaticism, and terrorism.” She says that as a person who has lived half her life in Iran, she knows that this characterization is not true. This, she says, is why she wrote Persepolis. She believes “that an entire nation should not be judged by the wrongdoings of a few extremists.”
