Satrapi, Marjane. Persepolis. New York, NY: Pantheon, 2003. Print

            The author, Marjane Satrapi, divulges into her very own life as a young girl growing up in the revolution of Iran. This book is a prime example of a primary source that gives an accurate depiction of what life was like during her childhood in Iran. Satrapi elaborates on the brutality of the Iranian government, and how her and her family strived and thrived during these hard times. The level of trust that had to suffice within each family was tremendous and to witness it first hand must have been incredible. The author as a young girl had to deal with many hardships, such as family members in jail and tortured, hiding their valuables, not trusting neighbors and not having basic freedoms available in America. This citation gives key examples of oppression in Iran during Satrapis childhood and the struggles she had to endure.
