This chapter of persepolis reminds me that in some countries there was political persecution. A few years ago there was political persecution here in Colombia. Many people like Marjane´s uncle Anoosh looked forward to go live in another country because people here with certain political view were being murdered. The man disguised as a sheep reminds me of how latin americans try many different crazy things in order to get to the United States. These people will try to disguise themselves to pass illegally through the border just like people escaping Iran at this time. This Hyperlink will talk about political persecution in Iran.
The scene where Marji´s crush announces that he is going to the US,reminds me of some years ago when the situation here in Colombia was so bad that many people left. This is also shown in the scene where most of her family leaves Iran. The part where they tell Marji that Anoosh went back to Moscow in order to not tell her he is in prison reminds me of when a pet dies and you are young. They do not tell you he is dead, they tell you that he ran away. The part when Anoosh is executed as a russian spy reminded me of some cases where the Colombian military murder civilians and then dress them up as Guerrillas.
