Poem video on war

"This heart beat is louder than death, your war drum aint louder than this breath".

This quote struck me because it rhymed and it stood out from all the other things She said before this. I also liked the meaning that i got out of it. That a person's opinion, can be more powerful than the government, even if its only one person.

I think there is a huge connection between suheirs ideas and marjanes ideas.  They both seem to be rebels because in the book marjane was always confronting people, insulting others back that insulted her, and wore clothes that were illeagle in her country of iran.  Suheirs poetry is kind of the same because she kept talking about the war drum, and how she wouldnt dance for it, and how she wasnt going to support it, or kill for it and all that stuff.

In my opinion marjane was a very independent person. She didnt seem to do what everybody else did, she found her own style, her own music, and did things in her country that others were probably scared to do, like buying the tapes and stepping up to teachers at school. I felt the same independence from suheir because she kept saying how she wouldnt dance for the war drum, even if everyone else was dancing for it because they could all be wrong.

What struck me about persepolis, is how strict their laws are, and how woman cant show their hair and if they do they are considered a prostitute or something, i think thats really wierd.
I think that people should be able to do what they want, where what they want, listen to whatever kind of music they like, but that is obviously not the case in iran.

What struck me about Suheirs poetry, is how she uses such powerful words and detail to describe her subjects, which is war and woman, and stuff like that. What also struck me is how she can just keep going on and on and on without a piece of paper or anything without stuttering or forgetting what her poem said. I also like how she cusses in her poetry, because you wouldnt think that a person like her would cuss, so its entertaining and unexpected.
