Relatives show in the streets every day.
Since the girl is not important because the parents were very exhausted, she says: "As for me, I love the King [the Shah], he was chosen by God."
The girl's father explains that "God did not choose the King".
His father tells Marjane that fifty years earlier Shah's father, Reza Shah, organized a coup to establish a Republic. Although the idea of a republican government was popular among these earlier revolutionaries,
There were many different interpretations among them.
Reza Shah was not an educated leader or a natural leader, but an illiterate 'low-ranking officer', taken advantage of by the British, who wanted to alienate the Russian Bolsheviks and take advantage of Iran's vast oil fields.
The father explains that the emperor that the Shah's father overthrew was in fact her maternal great-grandfather, as son of the emperor, a prince.
The Father of the Shah took everything his grandfather possessed; however, because he was educated, the Shah's father appointed him Prime Minister, became a communist and also a critic of the regime. For this reason he was later sent to prison and tortured; He was often placed for hours in a cell full of water.
Marjane's mother, this grandfather's daughter, sadly describes how, as a child, she always feared the knock on the door which often meant that her father would once again be arrested.
She visited him in jail, but his health deteriorated dramatically due to the terrible conditions.
The girl no longer wanted to play Monopoly if not that she wants to take a bath in the tub, wanted to know how it felt to be in a cell full of water.
God asks what he is doing, as if he did not understand. When she comes out, her hands are wrinkled, "like grandpa".
My Opinion:
She has the right to say what she wants on issues of politics and religion, but she is now slowly realizing that opinions and decisions about the real world can affect her and her relatives, so she wants to get into the bath To simulate that he is in a cell to know that he feels to be someone physically damaged because of his political beliefs.
But now with the unjust policy is a lack of respect the slight faults in the countries and the community.
