Summary:
She reads and reads and reads and realizes that the biggest problem with the world is the divide between social classes.
She recognizes the divide firsthand when her maid, Mehri, falls in love with the boy next door, but is forbidden to pursue him because she is a much lower class than he.
He wears a Bee Gees shirt, so maybe this is for the best?
Later, she gets Mehri to take her to a demonstration.
Afterward, she's mother is angry. They had demonstrated on "Black Friday", not the hellish shopping day, but a day when many Iranians were killed by their own country's soldiers.
My opinion:
She reads and reads a lot because it is the key to learning and so she understands more about detailed parts of the world that does not have a good explanation of what happens Mehri comes to Marjane's mind because she is the closest person Marjane knows It looks like the people in the books you read. Understanding the cause of Mehri's presence at home and feeling sympathy allows Marjane to connect with the illiterate Mehri and help her in her romantic activities. However, this episode becomes for Marjane a lesson in the gap between social classes, and how difficult or even impossible to close this gap. Despite the social divisions, Marjane tries to be in solidarity with Mehri when demonstrating with her this act also indicates a step more towards the adult age, since it tries to imitate to its parents, but without even being involved. Marjane demonstrates greater maturity in her ability to detect disinformation and to reach more likely conclusions about the source of violence. At the same time, Marjane's decision to protest without telling her parents is incredibly immature and reckless, and again shows how little she understands the real dangers. She wants to be like her parents, but she's still a child, and her safety judgment is not as refined as her parents'.
