The next major role in Persepolis would be Marjane’s friends. Marjane’s friends are what helped to give Marjane further insight to how the regime had affected the people that were not fortunate enough to leave the country like she had. This only becomes apparent when Marjane returns to her home country online to find that her friends still were trapped in the old mind set despite their outward appearances. Lastly are Marjane’s parents who encouraged her to think for herself. This was the final ingredient in making Marjane the headstrong person that she appeared to be in the book.
I bought her a hot-water heater, and another one when it wore out…They were tiny things, inconsequential things. I did them because I was supposed to, because it was my turn to do things for her, and because I was trying to make up for any wrong I had ever done her.” (Bragg, pg. 151) His mother made many sacrifices for her boys when she was growing up, and Bragg was compassionate to his mother. He loved her so much and wanted her to live a comfortable life. This can strike a note with most readers, as most people feel attached to their mothers and would do anything to make them happy.
(Alvarez 1997) is a very good book, in fact I read it in one day. Which was great, but then at the end it made you want more. In the beginning of the book, it seems all of Yolanda’s sisters feel betrayed and hurt that Yolanda would write a book about their lives. Even though it is labeled a fictional book, the book seems to be based off their lives. The first chapter was told by FiFi, the youngest sister.
Despite the criticism he receives from his customers, Singh seems to hold his wife as a major and main priority in his life and could suggest that his emotional and mental wellbeing depends on his wife. Likewise in “Checking out Me History” the poet also uses repetition. However, the repetition of the word “Dem” (which is probably school teachers), shows that he is directly addressing them and could perhaps show that he feels strongly about the fact that black history is not taught in schools and is forgotten about. It could suggest that he could be blaming them for not teaching about black history. This creates an interesting character as it portrays the character’s passion and will for teachers to teach black history in schools and also shows the amount of pride that the character has for his culture and how he wants people to
Before publication, Skloot sent copies of the manuscript to Henrietta's family. She found that many of the younger generation were truly shocked and awed by Henrietta's family, and grateful to have the book written. Some members of the younger generation also read the book out loud to their elders, which opened a dialogue in the family. Skloot also mentions that Henrietta's family sometimes shows up at her speaking events, and even signs books, making them seem pretty comfortable with the experience. The family is also involved as consultants in the film to be made from the
They don’t easily give up on what they want or believe in.

Many maids agreed to participate and we see that she doesn’t give up until the book it’s published. Even though there is times she feels like giving up it’s the best thing to do, but, she doesn’t.

They encouraged her to devote herself to writing and on Christmas they presented her with a year’s salary. Lee quit her job and wrote full time, and with the help of her friends she published To Kill a Mockingbird. Later on that year, she greatly assisted Capote with the research and writing of the book, In Cold Blood. Capote dedicated the book to Lee and his lover but did not mention her contributions to writing the book. Although Lee was very hurt and angry, she continued to remain close friends with him because of everything they had been through.

It not only changes our view on Addie, but our view on the novel as a whole. Addie's voice is imparative to the reader's outlook and while we can sense it through the voices of others, her chapter best sums up her mind. So, what if Addie's chapter did not exsist? For one, we would never have comprehended her mind and the way it twists around things like how she feels about her children and husband. We would have all thought of her as still the same loving mother who watches her son, Cash, methodically build her coffin not because she is ready and wanting soon to be in it, but because he is her son and she loves to see him work.
