I found it very interesting how Marjane and her family were against being conservative and wearing the full covering outfit. When we went into discussion about the veils, and how they are banned in France, it was brought up that not allowing the women to wear the veils is just as oppressive as making them mandatory. We shared the opinion of Marjane, who is very against wearing the veils, however she feels that it should be up to the decision and choice of the women. I agree in this case, because either way the government is making the decision for the women, so either way it is wrong.
This week we discussed Marjane and the how her life is very similar to ours. She has faced many things in her life that are similar to what we have. Today, by drawing the comic strips, we were able to see that although they may have been a bit different, we had situations that were relatable. I found it interesting that each person related in some way, even though from a first look, it could be said that we are much different from Marjane and her way of life. She is in fact a normal girl who happened to survive much in her life, and was fortunate enough to tell her story.
