Character Analysis of Marijane

I think Mari like most kids is very impressionable little girl.
pg 62
A scene that made me realize was this when her dad and her uncle Anoosh were talking. This made me think that she believed everything she heard. Because of this I believed she became very confused at the beginning of the revolution. While school and TV said one thing, parent would tell they were lies to cover the truth.
pg 38









Also growing up her parents were very involved with the protest and the revolution. Her parents knew that protest were dangerous and people were constantly getting injured or kill so they never took her. But one day she snuck out with Mehri to the protest. This scene demonstrated that she wanted to be just as involved as her parents, and know more of the truth that was going on. Wanting to know more made her a very knowledgeable for her age and become a bit rebellious.




But having knowledge didn't always means she know she was right. She hears about a boy in her class whose far killed  people in the revolution. Influenced by all war and revolution she decides she was going to punish him but is stopped by her mother. Then tells her he is not at fault and she needs to learn to forgive.






pg 91
Sort off topic: But I was wondering if the author was trying to symbolize something with what look like the U.S. flag with the stars and stripes on the beds. And in the next image the kids seem to be peacefully sleeping.

I AM...

Hello my name is Manuel and I’m a procrastinator.

I was born and raised in San Jose California. I Graduated from William C. Overfelt high school class of 2010. I did Cross Country for 3 years and track for 1 year. I’m planning on majoring in engineering but still not sure which exact one, so for now I’m just taking plenty of math and science classes. Hopefully i have enough credits to transfer next school year. Most likely going to transfer to San Jose State University.

One Piece
I enjoy going Alum Rock or missions pick to hicking on my free time. Once or twice a month I like to have poker with friends and just for get about all the worries. I also enjoy watching Anime and reading Manga (Japanese cartoons and comics). Manga so far is the only thing that’s has really gotten me hooked in reading. When i get hooked I spend hours maybe days to finish it or to catch up where the latest chapter.One manga that I am currently reading is called “One Piece” , its been going on for over 10 years since the first chapter came out and the author said he is just half way done.

Deadmau5 Helmet at Fanime
The type of music I listen to is Rock, Trance, and Techno.One artist that I listen to Deadmau5. He wears a Mouse help during his concerts. I made a helmet just like his for Fanime which is a Anime convention that’s downtown in the end of May. The convention last around 4 days and by the third day my Helmet was all messed up. I'm the one in the green and black one. The other guy was just someone else that made one.





. Last and least important thing is I work at Target for about a year now. I only work weekends so I can keep my mind on school.
