The Heroes

Title
the significance of the title is that the chaprter is about how if you were captured and imprisoned during the revolution than they are known as a hero. It is also about how Marji wanted a hero in her family.

Summary
In this chapter the political prisoners were liberated, two of them being friends of Marji's parents. They spoke of how they were tortured in the prison and spoke of a friend of theirs named Ahmadi that was tortured to an extreme extent and assassinated. Marji was upset that there was no hero in her family. She began playing games with her friends of torutre and came up with her own forms of torture. She was overwhelmed. Marji wanted justice but she wanted to forgive. That is wher you see her in the arms of God, "the only place where [she] felt safe" (Satrapi 53).

New Terms
There werent really any new terms.

Humurous Passage
A humurous passage from this chapter is when she had decided to play games with her friends that in them if you were to lose you would be tortured either by twisting of the arm, the mouthful of garbage, or the mustache on fire.

Important Picture
The most important picture in this chapter would have to be the last for that is where you see Marji in the arms of God and where the quote says " I didnt know what justice was. Now that the Revolution was finally over once and for all, I abandonedthe dialectic materialism of my comic strips. The only place where I felt safe was in the arms of my friend" (Satrapi 53).
