teebuds 's review for:
The Complete Persepolis
by Marjane Satrapi
Reading this books makes me wonder how I became so sad in my teenage years. I live in one of the most progressive countries, I have freedom, I have never faced war like my parents did. I didn’t get corrupted by dangerous interpretations of the Quran or face misogyny or violence like my parents did. Yet at age 13 I became aware of what life was and dreaded its consequences. I think as humans we need problems to feel “special” and validated. My issues were very real to me but they could’ve been replaced by years for content and self improvement. This book made me frustrated of what people have made of my religion, I don’t believe that force is the way to make people believe in what the Quran says. In fact it has the opposite effect, people resent things they’re forced to do. The women who wore veils took it off the very second they had the chance to do so, the men having to put their life on the line for something they don’t believe in. It was and still is corrupt.
