Children in War In this panel from Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, Marji is at a party with her friends having a great time not aware of what is happening out on the front lines to child soldiers. Growing up in a time of war can affect children’s views on what’s right or wrong through the government's actions. On page 102, Satrapi depicts child soldiers dying on the front lines with keys around their necks. The government gave these children keys saying that if they were lucky enough to die in war those keys were the keys to heaven. In the panel, the children’s bodies are all black and show no facial features this demonstrates how the government sees the child soldiers. They are faceless, nameless to the government; they don’t matter.
