1. The title of my chapter is "Kim Wilde", this name is significant because it gives you a sneak peak at what new characters and things are going to be introduced in this chapter.2. For my chapter, I chose the chapter "Kim Wilde" the significance of the title of this chapter is:In this chapter of the book, Marjis' parents go on a trip to Turkey, and Marji requested some gifts that are not availible (or allowed) in the country. Any sort of popculture is looked down upon by all who are sticklers for the rules, like a jean jacket, nike shoes, a button with your favorite musical artist, and posters (all of which she had gotten as presents from her parents). When they come back Marji wears her new jacket, button, and nike sneakers around town and people would give her strange looks. She met with a man who sold her two tapes, one which is the title of the chapter, Kim Wilde, and as she continues on her way home she is stopped The Womans Branch (women who arrest others incorrectly wearing the veil) and tell her that she is being taking to the Guardians of Revolution where she will be arrested. She told a lie that luckily got her out of it. Her parents had no clue of this quarrel but she learned her leason that she needed to be much more careful in public, and how the rules in her country were unfair yet, strickly followed.3. In this chapter several new things and people are introuduced, Kim Wilde (famous singer), Iron Maiden (heavy metal band), Guardians of Revolution The Womans' Branch (Women who arrest other woman for improperly wearing the veil), Committe (HQ of the Gurdians of the Revolution), mainly all the terms were people or bands. 4. In this chapter Marji's parents go on Vacation to Turkey, there they buy gifts for Marji that are illegal in their country, i.e. posters, or anything fun, they go into a punk store and a wild dressed man looks at them funny due to the fact they are older and look like they have no clue what they are doing. I found this funny because an older couple walking into a young punk store is way out there, also they had to sew the posters into the dads' jacket and he looked very odd. 5. Finally, one picture I found was on top of page 134, the very first picture, was when Marji was about to be taken down to the Committe and she realises how dangerous it is to rebel by dressing improperly. She realises she could be whipped, held for hours or days, or even worse things. I find this significant becuase Marji thought that wearing the veil correctly was no big deal, but now she realises how important it is to wear, so she can simply not get into trouble.
