In the middle of the Complete Persepolis the book took a slight turn in my opinion. I was all in understanding of her running around clueless of what was going on out in the world. Now things has changed for the worst. I cannot imagine going through the things Marji and her family has went through. They are being forced to wear a veil to school, not having a choice but being forced. Hiding the identity of who you really may be. Turning the way you dress into who you will be judged as a person. I can connect to that to todays society because many people are still judged today. For example today you can be judged and looked down on it dress too short, if not covered up enough in the eyes of others. The way you dress has been a way to Judge a book by its cover before you really know who a person really is. The different types of name calling you can be called based off of how you dress is a slut, hordes, hoodlum, gangster. All things that does not sit well with me because i find it distasteful to judge someone. In the Complete Persepolis Marji mom was insulted by "fundamentalist Bastards". An example in the book is " Women like you should be pushed up against a wall and fucked and then thrown in garbage, and if didn't want that should wear veil." I found this horrible that a women could not come out in her own skin without being insulted, told to hide her identity.The book relates to today because it shows stereotypes that people still go through today. That if you have a veil on you are a fundamentalist, and if not your slut or whore. Pages 74 and 75 shows how women were arrested for not having veil on. No one should be dehumanized for what they are wearing because that is not who they are but only what they have on. How do you think we can change the stereotypes on men and women today?
