You need to:
1. Summarise the chapter in no more than 10 bullet
points.
2. Send your summary to me by email or give me the
handwritten copy.
3. Refer to the three prompts on the SAC sheet
i. The worst battle you have to fight is between what you know and what you feel.ii. Conflict is inevitable, but combat is optional.
iii. The greatest conflicts are not between two people but between one person and their self.
4. Identify at least one panel from the chapter that relates to one of the prompts. You should be able to identify at least two of the three prompts from each chapter.
My example.
The
Veil p3 John
Summary
- MS is 10 at the time of the revolution
- All girls now have to wear the veil to school
- Schools are now segregated
- MS’s mother protests against the veil and against
the restrictions on women’s rights
- MS is very religious as a child
- Her family is wealthy
- Her grandmother is important to her
- MS talks to God
- She wants to be a prophet
- Her family is unhappy with this so she tells them
she wants to be a doctor
How the
chapter relates to the prompt
Prompt 3 – conflict with self: panel 5 on p8 to
panel 5 p9 – MS understands the problem other people have with her wanting to
be a prophet so she tells them what they want to hear.
Prompt 1 – battle between know and feel: p5: MS’s
mother is conflicted between what she knows (the veil represents a restriction
on women’s rights) and what she feels (fear of the repercussions)
or
what she knows (the revolutionary state could
punish her for her opposition) and what she feels (that being forced to wear
the hijab is a violation of her human rights)
It depends on your point of view.

The Shabbat chapter summary
By Liam Bell
• To keep Iran from forgetting that they were at war with Iraq the Iraqis started bombing Tehran with missiles.
• A siren went off three minutes a bomb was about to go off.
• Many people fled leaving the city deserted but Marji's family decided to stay in Tehran.
• One day Marji went out shopping when a missile exploded in her street.
• A crowd had gathered around her street. the guards who were there wouldn't let Marji through but when she said that she lived there they let her through. Fortunately Marji's family was alright but her neighbours house was hit and completely destroyed.
• Marji's mum tried to change the subject away form whether the neighbours had died, but then Marji saw the necklace of the neighbours son which looked like it was still attached to the body.
How the chapter relates to the prompts
By Liam Bell
Prompt 2 - Conflict is inevitable, but combat is optional:
Panel 1 on page 136 - The conflict between Iran and Iraq was inevitable after the Iranian revolution [because Saddam Hussein took advantage of confusion within Iran] but the Iraqis didn't have to bomb Tehran.
Prompt 1 - The worst battle you have to fight is between what you know and what you feel:
Panel 1 on page 137 - Marjane's parents know that it is safer to leave Tehran but decide to stay there because Marjane's parents feel that if there was to be a future, it would be linked to Marjane's French education which they could only get in Tehran.
The Diary pp 143–153 John
• MS is in conflict with her teachers over her dress/burka and jewellery
• She learns to be aggressive but hits the principal
• In her next school she challenges the teacher’s interpretation of the political situation
• She again challenges the religion teacher
• Tension surrounds the family’s belief of Marjane’s right to stand up for herself, her right to challenge authority and the risks involved
• The counterfeiter’s assistant, Niloufar, is described as being raped before being executed – for religious reasons
• MS’s parents decide to send her to be educated at the French school in Vienna
• Grandma comes to stay – important life lessons are learned about how to smell good, maintain firm breasts and ‘deal with jerks’
How the chapter relates to the prompts
Know/feel: pp 145 & 147 – MS’s parents know how risky her defiance is and know they have brought her up well but feel the fear for her situation and feel very sad at her departure for Vienna
Combat optional: p 143 conflict for MS is inevitable because of her upbringing and her belief in the right to stand up for herself. She chooses combat when she hits the principal.
