F-14's: Sylvia Weir

- The F-14's refers to the Iranian's fighter jets.

- First in the chaper, the Iraqis bombed Tehran. Later, marji and Her family hear on the radio that the pilots of Iran's F-14's, who were imprisioned by the government, were released and promised to bomb Bagdad if the Iranian government broadcast the national anthem. Half the pilots were killed on the mission, one of them being Marji's school-mate's dad.

- Marji thinks that the war that Iran and Iraq are in is the same war that they were in 1400 years ago.

- One humerous part of the chapter is when Marji and her dad celebrate and and dance around the room when they hear that Iran had bombed Bagdad.

-A picture I feel is most significant in the chapter is when Marji and her family hear the national anthem. The picture shows how emotional it was for them to hear it and the caption of the picture reads: "We were overwelmed..."
