I believe that with Marji's rapid and rebellious behavior, it was extremely smart of her parents to send her away to school to protect her not only from the war, but also from potential threats she could have had and brought on to herself. #PersepolisDisc #HIST125005F18

This is especially important because she has a way to deal with these situations at a young age, which is remarkable. #PersepolisDisc #HIST125005F18

I think that Marji using humor to cope with real life situations is something that a lot of people can relate too. It almost seems like how comedians use humor for "hard to discuss events or situations." #PersepolisDisc #HIST125005F18
