Now that I have viewed the film, I can get a better understanding of what Majane Satrapi went through and how other people in the film were affected by emotions. As Majane's life passes by, she becomes more aware and more mature as she gets older by the events that occur that affect her family and the country she lives in. She lost many people she cared for including her uncle with gave an everlasting effect on her throughout the film. We see how the regime took control of Iran and how many innocent people were punished. Marjane learned to become independent and let go of her past to try and better her future.
My impression of Marjane is that she is a kind hearted girl but gets influenced to easily by her family and peers. She hangs out with the wrong people that gives her the idea to make bad judgements. She still is family oriented but slowly separates from them physically and emotionally. She had to leave them to be free from Iranian control but then she does not speak to them for a long period of time. So when they are reunited it is a little awkward being that they do not know what she looks like or even what she has gone through. By the end of the film, Majane is liberated from her past and forbidden to return to Iran as her mother tells her so this we can see that she is her own person ready to take on the rest of her life and make her own decisions.
