The biggest lies in the history u should know about Iran History is a science, like all sciences and it has precise rules and formulas. Lack of attention to historical writings, will make fake stories; but an expert with simple analysis will find out that he can’t use those fake stories as resources or knowledge of history. One of those lies is Alexander fake attack on Iran! The processors of Alexander’s story that made his story about six hundred years after his death, they never kept this in their mind that the first factor of the victory in wars are the number of warriors and weapons of war and experienced commanders in the war. We can’t say to the world what to write and what to not write! But at least we can check and research about …show more content…
the things are written in the history. Alexander was a twenty years old poor and without experience from a poor land.
So he could never stand and destroy the great empire of Iran. Burning the Persepolis by Alexander was another big lie in the history that made by Iran’s enemies. In fact Persepolis was never burnt. The writers who wrote about burning Persepolis didn’t have any knowledge about Persepolis and said that the palace was made by Cedar’s wood; but it’s not true coz the Persepolis made by strong stones and its totally rejected scientifically. Limestone, calcium carbonate that was the basic material in Persepolis building, under 1 atmospheric pressure, in the heat of 894 degrees with the 391 calories of heat, can burn and disintegrate. So with these facts about Persepolis’s materials any unskillful person can understand that burning Persepolis was just a fake story. Some burnt clothes, carpets and objects that found in Persepolis, are not belong to that period. All over the history and the last hundred years, rulers, tourists, nomads and shepherds were using that place and some of those stuffs are for them. Treasure hunters over time and specially Jewish colonization factors that were entering as historian to the Persepolis were some of the other reasons for the burnt stuffs in
Persepolis. Arabs attack to Iran, the second big lie of the history This theory has been proved among scholars of ethnology that the cradle of all Semitic people is Arabian Peninsula!!! This lie is very similar to Aryan migration from north to Iran! Now they are saying about Arabs from the south! Colonial liars says: “One of the promises of Islam for Arabs was that if they become victorious, Iran, Iraq and Syria will be theirs”. They continue: Muslim Arabs who were poor, were fighting with this hope that if they got the victory they will be lucky and if they loose and die will go to the heaven… So in this way Arab’s wars with Iran was mostly economical… Fake and false battles This battles that have written in historical books are derived from each other with little changes and are available in historical books. Battle Hire: (… They didn’t have anything for defend except an old fence …): In fact the geographical location of this battle was somewhere else! Fathallah and battle chains: (… Iranian soldiers had been chained to not escape … ): What do they want to say with this lie? Where the chains were production and how they had locked? Battle Ellis: (… He ordered that for several days and nights behead Iranians and make a blood stream …): Three lies in one sentence … First they showed Iranians like timid and second they showed muslims as bloodthirsty and finally they are putting Iranians and Arabs face to face for colonial purposes. But in fact no victorious army does this with the enemy at first battles! The liars are saying that: Yazdgerd told to Arab envoys: You are eating lizards and mice coz of poverty! But in fact this statement and kind of words are belong to bourgeoisie and colonial period of 500 years ago! According to this research, we should not rely only on what historians say. Colonizers were always trying to bring confusion in the social development of Muslims! So in this way we should deal with them!
Colonialism has a severely negative impact on those being affected due to unknown cultures and systems being infiltrated in their country. In the first chapter of “The Complete Persepolis” by Marjane Satrapi, the author starts off with the Islamic Revolution and the changes it brought to her immediate surroundings. This reminds me of colonialism and the changes it brings to the colonized country. Colonialism started with the expedition of the Portuguese and Spanish to discover new wealth. Since then, the drastic after effects of colonialism are still felt today by the affected group. In the 20th century, colonialism plays a part in why some cultural groups are the way they are today. In conclusion, the change the Islamic Revolution did to Marjane’s immediate surroundings is similar to how colonialism affected the colonized countries.
Historical context is the main reason Persepolis was written. Marjane Satrapi wrote Persepolis one year after nine eleven. The main reason Persepolis was written is to paint the people of Iran in a different light. At the time many people associated Iran with terrorism. Satrapi was able to depict the everyday people of Iran. Most people in Iran are average law abiding citizens. Unfortunately, like every other country Irian has the few people of deviant nature that commit unthinkable acts. The media has focused on these deviant individuals and consequently depicted the Iranian people as whole in this negative light.
To study history, the facts and information must be passed down. To do so, historians record the information in textbooks and other nonfiction works. Whether or not the historians retell facts or construct their own version of history is debatable. History can be percieved as being “constructed” by the historians due to their bias, elimination of controversy, strive for entertainment, and neglect to update the information.
During our class discussions, the issue of identity in Marjane Satrapi’s novel, Persepolis (2004), became a contentious issue. The question was asked whether Persepolis might be understood to being in-dialogue with western ways of seeing and did the effects of modernization influence the identity of Marjane’s protagonist in Persepolis. How does the novel involve the issue of identity? I will extend the argument and, through the exploration of Marji’s changing ideologies, I will attempt to prove that Marji is caught between the traditional eastern culture and western modernization.
In Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi’s childhood experiences allow her to demonstrate the cultural changes that occurred in post-revolutionary Iran, as well as those perpetrated by western culture. In Persepolis, western culture plays a major role in the author’s attempt to dispel the
Education is an important part in the development of young woman’s life. In the novel’s The Complete Persepolis and A Woman’s Story, the culture of the young woman affects the education they receive, allowing for a strong emphasis on self-education, which helps shape the relationship between mother and daughter. In A Woman’s Story education is the key component to social development, while in The Complete Persepolis education is imperative for enlightenment. This social development through education in A Woman’s Story helps establish the importance of self-education between mother and daughter.
Nowadays, there are many religions that one can choose from. Religion, to some, is a guide line, but to others it’s more like falling in love. In 1979, Iran was in the midst of the Islamic Revolution. During this time, some people held tight to religion while others let it go. Marjane Satrapi wrote Persepolis about her life at that time. At the beginning, Satrapi grasps religion tightly; however, by the end of the book, she seems to let it go. Throughout Persepolis, religion acts like a security blanket and enhances the understanding of the graphic novel’s theme, which is “stay true to yourself.”
When writing any sort of narrative, be it novel or poem, fiction or non-fiction, scholarly or frivolous, an author must take into account the most effective manner in which to effectively convey the message to their audience. Choosing the wrong form, or method of speaking to the reader, could lead to a drastic misunderstanding of the meaning within an author’s content, or what precisely the author wants to say (Baldick 69). Even though there are quite a bit fewer words in a graphic novel than in the average novel, an author can convey just as much content and meaning through their images as they could through 60,000 words. In order to do that though, their usage of form must be thoughtfully considered and controlled. Marjane Satrapi, author of the graphic memoir The Complete Persepolis, took great pains in the creation of her panels in order to reinforce and emphasize her narrative, much like a novelist utilizes punctuation and paragraph breaks. Through her portrayal of darkness and lightness, Satrapi demonstrates that literary content influences, and is primary to, the form.
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effect of an oppressive regime on the child Marjane Satrapi as depicted the graphic novel Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi.
There are many different influences in the world today; a big one that most people in the world face is religion. Religion is an influence that people first encounter during their childhood. They grow and learn to have faith. People’s perspective on religion is affected by their culture, their family and the events they witness during childhood. Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi is the story of a young girl growing up in Iran, during the Islamic Revolution, and the war with Iraq. Throughout the novel religion develops along with the plot, in good and bad ways. In the story Marji loses her faith and it changes who she is, religion also changed her lifestyle by the government putting religion into the law. Religion is a topic that people label as
There are many times when problems in a country affect one's life. Persepolis by Majarne Satrapi recounts the coming-of-age of a girl during a period of war. Utilizing a graphic novel to illustrate, Marjane recalls the struggles of her family and herself living in warfare. For instance, in Persepolis, Marjane's external conflict result in her internal conflict.
What is the role of religion in Persepolis? How does religion enhance your understanding of the themes and culture of the novel?
Persepolis 2: The Story of Return is anchored around how Marji is affected by the social injustice that occurred during the Islamic Revolution. Growing up as “a westerner in Iran and an Iranian in the West,” (Satrapi 274) changes and molds her into the young woman she is at the end of her journey. In this second chapter of Satrapis life she moves away from the comfort of Iran and finds a life in Vienna. Marji desires to find her purpose and identity during her brief time here and faces many battles with language barriers, people and herself. Marjis past from Iran haunts her and instills the idea that she needs to make something of herself while in Austria. Finding that Austria took her down a darker path where the light was scarcer and the
Even in our present time we can see how culture principles and characteristic drive can cause conflict. Within a society, an individual does not exist. If an individual does exist, then they are no longer a part of the society causing rebellion. In I and Thou, Buber explains that the self becomes either more disconnected or more unified through its relationships to others. The film Persepolis is an adaption to Marjane Satrapi’s The Complete Persepolis coming-of-age graphic memoir. It involves a young Muslim girl name Marjane as she comes of age within the environment of the Iranian Revolution. The film explores the actualization of Marjane through allegory to show how she must construct her identity within a foundation of westernization, religion, and gender.
Throughout history, religion has gained religious believers, but likewise has lost them. The ability to have faith in something is a characteristic that is unique in humans. But, likewise, people have the unique characteristic of stop believing, specially, when certain events challenge their faith. In Marjane’s narrative story, Persepolis, Marjane slowly lost faith in religion. Religious fundamentalist harmed her love ones, violently, which made her realize that religion was always connected with violent acts. Marjane narrates that a lot of people have accepted the new religious government, she said, “it wasn’t only the people that changed. Ordinary people changed
