1. The significance of the title, "The Veil" is that the people close to Marji did not want to wear the veil. The little kids did not even understand why they should have to wear the veil. It didn't seem fair to them that they should be wearing it.2. The chapter begins showing Marji wearing a veil in the class. The Islamic Revolution began in 1979, and in 1980 children had to wear a veil to school. Also, at the beginning of the Islamic Revolution, bilingual schools were closed, and boys and girls began going to separate schools. They didn't understand why it was mandatory for them to wear the veil. Marji believed she was "born with religion." When asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, she would say she wanted to be a prophet, but she never told her parents this. The only family member that knew she had a "holy book" was her grandmother. She would talk to God at night, telling him she knew she was a prophet. She wanted to be a prophet, but without anyone knowing.
3. Prophet-one who fortells future events
4. There are a few funny moments in this chapter, but my favorite is the picture that shows her as a baby with the caption, "I was born with religion." It is a silly looking picture, and it just shows her in a diaper with little lines around her head, smiling. It is a cute picture in this chapter. 5. The most significant picture in this chapter, I believe is the second picture. It is a picture of her class and her, but she is barely in the picture. None of the people in the picture look very happy. She is hiding just a little out of the shot. She says, "I'm sitting on the far left so you don't see me." I think this is significant because it shows how much she doesn't want to wear the veil. She is truly ashamed, and she doesn't want to be shown wearing it.
