Marjane continues to develop further, and as she is given more freedom, she is also faced with more responsibilities and decisions to make. Even throughout all of the peer pressure and temptations, she easily refuses most of them, even though she pretends to utilize drugs. In my opinion this is more acceptable then legitimately taking part in these activities because she knows she is not supposed to do them and sticks to it. Other responsibilities she had however, was to live in boarding school and make it all the way through which she in fact did not. This is because Marjane did not choose her battles wisely.
While reading by herself and eating pasta in a pot, a nun confronts her. Even though she really isn't doing anything wrong the nun feels the need to tell her off for eating in a pot and makes fun of her heritage. This is where her responsibility should have stepped in and she should have properly chose her battle. Even though what the nun did was wrong and in complete disregard to her own feelings, succeeding in the school was of importance and had she ignored the nun and not snapped back at her, she could have made it through boarding school.
