Persepolis 1-79

This week we read pages 1-79 of Persepolis. I think an interesting topic from the book was how the culture dealt with class. The author does not really understand the differences in class because she is a child at the time. It is an interesting perspective because you see how big of a deal class is but it's hard for a child to understand that some people are viewed as better than others. The scene where the maid falls in love with the neighbor boy shows that their society has marrying within ones class is so ingrained the boy decides that he no longer wants to be with her at all when he learns she is poor.
