I like the first chapter, the veil, because of how suddenly life changed for a little girl and how she tried to overcome that situation when islamic revolution started and a Little girl named Majane didn’t know what a veil was, and they forced her to put it in her schools . She studied before a French non-religious school where all kids sat together and all were treated the same boys and girls but in this new school of hers was not co education .Her upbring was different then others because her parents were muslim but very modern no restriction in the home. Thats why her parents were protesting against new the shah’s regime and likewise encourage Marjane to speak her mind even when her ideas fall outside the accepted political and social norm.She wants to be a prophet and night time she see God come to her night and she discuss everything to the God.When teacher get to know in the class marjane thoughts that she want to be a prophet she call her parents but they didn’t embarrassed or concerned about it .After that marine realized that its saver to don’t tell anyone what your thoughts are so she kept quiet . She saw her mother was very scared when her photo came in newspaper protecting against veil that no one will understand her . she was afraid for her life that islamic regime will identify her and she will get punished so she change her hair color and wear black glasses for a long time .That’s why marjane learn the lesson to kept her thoughts saver and don’t share with anyone.
