The Calling
By Sungii

Sungii: Marjane... has suffered quite an amount of torture...
Naruto: In what way?
Sungii: She's heard of many gruesome stories from her friends and family that have been to jail and tortured, and more importantly... her Uncle Anoosh who passed away. It breaks my heart to see her lost in despair. She lost the one "hero" she considered in her family.
Naruto: It is painful, I've suffered quite the same experience too.
Sungii: I know! This also leads me to ask why is it that people go through this kind of torture! What do we gain out of this! It only hurts...
Naruto: Pain and suffering brings forth many different mixed emotions. It also brings to light a new perspective.
Sungii: Tell me, please. What could be positive about something like this.
Naruto: Well you're in school right now so let me give you an example you can easily reflect on.
Sungii: If it helps, sure!
Naruto: When you perform poorly on an assignment, what do you almost always do?
Sungii: Well I feel very bad about it.
Naruto: Sure, we would all but there is something else.
Sungii: I'd probably be anxious to see what I did wrong in the assignment.
Naruto: Yeah you're getting there!
Sungii: I guess I would try correcting it so that the next time another assignment similar comes I will remember what to do. Then I won't make the same mistake twice!
Naruto: Sometimes I wonder why you even ask me for help. You just solved your own question.
Sungii: ...
Naruto: Okay. When you made a mistake, you'd try hard to not make it again. Isn't that a new light? Isn't that a way of bringing optimism to a pessimistic situation? Isn't that what Marjane does in Persepolis? Does she not have a new take on certain things that happen around her?
Sungii: Yeah I guess, but in a very childish way.
Naruto: But that's the beautiful part about her, she's learning this from very young and not knowingly. She's getting back up every time she falls. She's giving life to world every time there is a loss.
Sungii: I think it makes a lot more sense when you explained it to me that way. But don't you think that you might be taking it too deep? Maybe she isn't even aware of all this!
Naruto: (laughingly)  It's okay though because you and I are kids too! And hey we're talking about this!
Sungii: Yeah we are, I guess that's why we can understand Marjane very well!

Marjane Satrapi: Child of Prophecy or Beginning of the End
By Sungii

Sungii: Marjane is pretty ambitious isn't she?
Naruto: She reminds me of us.
Sungii: I don't think so, I actually think she's a bit arrogant.
Naruto: ...
Sungii: Would you think otherwise?
Naruto: ...
Sungii: Why isn't she arrogant! Don't you think that seeking out equality for all people is stupid! We'd be in a 'communist' kind of situation where everyone gets rewarded - despite the extent of their effort. 
Naruto: "But isn't that what gives us reason to dream?
Sungii: ...
Naruto: I dream of someday becoming Hokage (leader of my village). You dream of something too don't you?
Sungii: Yeah, I do
Naruto: So let's say everyone was already Hokage, the title wouldn't really be special. I wouldn't pursure that "dream" now would I?
Sungii: I guess you're right, but don't you think this is different?
Naruto: No, her dreams are no different from yours and mine. Marjane has a similar dream to ours. The only difference is her desire to share it with others. She wants everyone to be equal in status and suffering. She wants everyone to be happy. I she's showed signs of a prophet. She sees that her maid does not get equal treatment like the rest of the household. She also sees the pain her grandmother experiences. She has all the motivation for her objective. 
Sungii: But...
Naruto: But above everything else, she is a girl. The gender which is least associated with prophecy. She's trying to beat the odds. She's trying to do the same thing you and I are doing.
Sungii: But she doesn't even have an answer! When her grandmother asked her how is it that she would eliminate pain, Marjane didn't give her a concrete answer.
Naruto: She did say that she was not going to allow it. That's what matters the most. Not that an answer be given but that the desire to seek one out is there. Keep reading Sungii the answer you're looking for might come.
