Persepolis is a book concerned the Islamic revolution in Iran. This is a comic book which is written by Marjane Satrapi. She introduced her child memory during the revolution in the book. The main character Marjane is a little girl at the beginning, she was lived in a middle class family, she is very religious and believe that she was the last prophet of god. She is a out spoken girl, she cares the policy in the society and is brave to say. She joined into the demonstration, rebut the religious teacher in school. There are many character in the book, I will analyze more about Marjane's uncle Annosh.
Annosh is a honest communist, when he was young, he has ever worked with his uncle Fereydoon to support the country democracy. But they fell, he had to go to Russia, and became a student who learned Marx. After he went back to Iran, he was sent to the prison and stayed for many years. When he was arrested, he met Marjane.
The most important event for Marjane is that he was executed and he gave two bread swan to Marjane as gifts. Before he was executed, he wanted to tell Marjane what's happened, what he knew so the last person Annosh wanted to meet before he was died is Marjane. He is a important person to Marjane. Because when Marjane is a little girl, she was excited about everything about the revolution, she doesn't know what exactly a hero means, her definition to a hero is that a person was sent to the prison because of the revolution. She thinks Annosh is the hero in the family. Annosh help Marjane know more about the world and give the hope to her.
Uncle Annosh gave Marjane the first impression of hero. As a little girl, Marjane thought the person who fight for the democracy and be sent in to the prison is the hero. When Annosh tell her he support his uncle for democracy, he has went to Moscow and learned Marx. Marjane thought Annosh is great, he is the hero, he can do other people can't do. So she said that "I had a hero in my family.naturally I loved him immediately."
When uncle Annosh lived in Marjane's home, he talked about the policy a lot. He told Marjane how he support the uncle Fereydoon to be a minister of a democracy country, how they try to free Iran province by province like Azerbaijan. And also told her the truth about Islamic revolution, religious leader can't make this country became free.
The words Annosh always said is that" Everything will be alright." In some degree, i think it gives hope to Marjane. Also it represents Annosh believe that one day, it will became a democracy country. Marjane believed that, when she knew Annosh was executed, she was very sad but said" Everything will be alright!"
