Summary:
Grandma is going to visit you. She tells her that when her husband was arrested they lost all their wealth and became poor. She was trying to make sure her family looked good despite being in poverty. That night, the family waited a long time for her father to return home after she was in a protest, she was worried that he was dead. Her father brought home alive and without any harm. He tells me that I take a picture and explains the story of what happened at the demonstration, but she was too young and did not understand anything, she was confused so she decides to learn more to understand better, and begins to read many books.
My opinion:
This shows that you have to learn about the past to have a greater understanding for a bigger future. Marji's dad is portrayed as very strongly-wanted by making the protests and shows go.
She is a strong and important character, demonstrated by how she plays a great influence on how the girl forms opinions about things while looking at what she does.
She shows much admiration for her father's actions and seems very impressed by what she does in the protests, this shows how she has a strong personality and her position on the situation at the moment. In this chapter fear is transmitted by the absence of his father while he was in the demonstrations, as well as the violent images of what happens in these protests, this scene shows a fear of the negative impacts of the revolution.
