Period 7 & 8, Post 1: Marjane the "Celestial Light"

Hey, guys!! Welcome to our inaugural posting!! I hope that this is an enjoyable experience for us all. :-)I'd like for us to continue our discussion about religion and spirituality. In Persepolis, we see Marjane's strong faith in her God at the beginning. Then, with the advent of the Islamic revolution, her belief is shaken. How can this apply to us?In order to receive credit, your assignment must include:
  1. Is your family religious? Were you raised to believe in a specific religion? If so, which?
  2. Are you religious now? Why/why not?
  3. By examining your answers to the previous questions, and evaluating them in conjunction with Marjane's character, how do external conflicts influence internal ones (i.e., how can things that happen around you cause you to doubt yourself and your beliefs)?

  1. hey its angelica..
    Is your family religious? Were you raised to believe in a specific religion? If so, which? yes in believing in god being a christian
    Are you religious now? Why/why not? yes i am because i no not everyone is perfect but there is a god.
    By examining your answers to the previous questions, and evaluating them in conjunction with Marjane's character, how do external conflicts influence internal ones (i.e., how can things that happen around you cause you to doubt yourself and your beliefs)?because there are things in our lives that tend to happen and then we believe that there is no more god or whatever you believe in and fact is things dont always come out the way youh want them to and u have to left ur self out of it shake it off and keep moving forward.

    yes they are religious yes to believe that i was a christain and that there was a god who forgave u for your sins.

    Not allthe way but i do believe in god and i no he is real.

    yes things do change to way u feel about religion cuz people sometimes feel that when u go through something is has to do with something esle and it makes u believe less in what u think although it shouldnt b like that it is.
