While reading this chapter, there was an event in the book that reminded me of something that happened to me. When Marjane's mother and grandmother were worried that Father had been killed during the demonstration, I immediately remembered the day I thought I lost my Father when he piloted an airplane for the first time. Like Marjane's mother and grandmother, I too have felt deeply worried about losing a person.
Marjane's father went out to take pictures of the demonstration, and didn't arrive home until late. Marjane's mother and grandmother had been waiting for hours for Father to arrive home. In my case, my father didn't appear on time either. My father's flight was supposed to last two hours, but he didn't call me until two hours and a half later. I was waiting for my father's call to be sharp on time. Marjane's mother and grandmother were worried that Father had been shot while taking pictures of the demonstrations. By looking at the comic pictures, you can infer that they were scared to loose Father. I almost cried thinking my father had an accident since he hadn't called on time. At that moment, I felt a big emptiness in me and thought what life would be like without my father. Like Marjane's mother and grandmother, my face showed signs of stress and worrisome.
After reading this chapter, I realized that I share feelings with characters from the book. In both cases, we feel scared to lose a loved one. Like Marjane's mother and grandmother were frightened while Father took pictures of the demonstration, I was very stressed out during my father's flight. Thankfully, Marjane's and my father returned home alive which alleviated us, the worried ones.
