I 'm here to explain why I believe that my book, Persepolis has very valuable things to tell the world. I 'll start by saying that as a ten-year old girl, I 'm being forced to wear a veil to school by those that have called the cultural revolution in Iran. As a girl and the age I am I 'm always being told what to do, and if I don 't obey it there will be consequences.
