My favorite chapter in the graphic memoir, “Persepolis” by Marjane Satrapi, is The Bicycle because it shows how Marjane really has to experience living in Iran.  After learning about the world leaders, Marjane and her classmates pretended a rebellion to make fun of the idea. This gives away the most important quote of the entire story: “The revolution is like a bicycle. When the wheels don’t turn, it falls.” That urges Marjane to study more about world politics to better understand the world and how they differ from Iran. I learned about Marjane and her family’s urge to protest against their heinous government. One of the government’s bad actions is that it burned down the cinema with 400 civilians trapped inside. The people know that it is the government’s doing by having the police surround the cinema and attack the people outside the cinema who simply wants to help the trapped ones. This urges Marjane to want to join her parent’s insurgence to take down the government.  This specific part of the story not only tells me about Marjane’s destiny but also her origin in how she may alter the diabolical country she stays in. Her inspiration from world leaders like Che Guevara, the co-leader who revolted Cuba, caused her to view the world’s politics as tangible and amendable as long as someone powerful is in control of the situation they are in.
