Explain the differences between Marjane's personality before she left Iran and when she returned after being in Austria. Why do you think she changed so much? Use specific examples from the book to support your claims.
I believe that Marjane was a rebellious teenager before she left Iran. She spoke back, wanted to do and wear what she wanted, and even hit her principal getting her expelled from school. She ended up being sent to Australia by her parents because they believed it was one of the only ways to assure her well being. After she had returned from Australia, she was even more shocked my the state of the country. She was so used to some of the liberties Australia had to offer that when they were not available for people in her own country she was horrified. She realized more than ever that the religious groups that were running Iran at that point were disallowing many things she thought were important for every person to have.
