Imagine siblings watching the same thing happen, then they both go tell people two different versions of the same story. Why is that? Well it’s simple, the siblings have different perspectives. Nobody’s perspective is ever going to be exactly the same as someone else and the person’s perspective will affect how that person presents a story, topic, or idea.

On the bottom bunk there are people from the lower class. They don’t have any luxuries, it’s dirty, they look unhappy, and it’s unfit for people to live in. On the middle bunk there are people from the middle class. They have some luxuries, it’s much cleaner, and they are happy. On the top bunk are people from the upper class. They live in luxury and will never be unhappy with their living conditions. This topic of social classes is also represented in Persepolis. Marjane’s family is part of the upper class. The family's maid and her family are part of the lower class. On pages 99 and 100 in Persepolis the maid is telling Marjane’s mom about the school giving her son a key and telling him that if he were lucky enough to go to war and die the “key would get them into heaven”(99). Later in the book on page 100, Marjane called her friend, who is also part of the same social class as her, and asked about the key to heaven or paradise. He replies, “keys to what?” (100). This shows a difference in social class, because the schools are only giving the “keys to paradise” to the lower class boys. Marjane’s perspective affects how she presents the topic of social classes, because she is still young and doesn’t know or see all the differences in the social classes.Ultimately, the presentation of a topic, idea, theme, or story will always depend on the perspective of the person presenting them. In conclusion, Marjane’s perspective affects how she presents nationalism, religion, and social
