“I know that beat it is lifeless.” One of the quotes that Suheir Hammad said in her poem. This is a great connection to Majane in Persepolis, it shows the war that happened in Iran when they started bombing. Majane said that the bombs were natural and even though we knew the bombs could kill us we did not go to the basement any more. Another great quote was “I will not lend my rhythm or my beat I will dance and resist.” This connection to all of the times Marjane rebelled against the veil, the war, the Shaw and or all of the people that wasn’t fair with women’s rights. These quotes were the first ones that I saw as a great example to relate to the book Persepolis. They stood out not only for that reason but for the reason that they were a inspiration to a revolution.
“I will not forget where I come from. I will make my own drum!” This is a huge connection to Persepolis. This is where Marjane mom, dad, and grandma told her it does not matter where you are never forget yourself and were you come from. In my opinion this is the root and the key inspiration of the book. “Do not fear what has blown up. Fear the un exploded.” This quote is very strong and poetic it has so much meaning. In my opinion the meaning is let go of the past there is nothing there the future is still to come. That was the one quote that stood out to me the most and I think this is the best line in her poem very power full words with a great meaning.
