I think Anoosh left a considerable impact on Marjane during his visit. Marjane was so interested in the revolution and always wanted to participate in the demonstrations at such a young age. When Anoosh was introduced into the story, Marjane admired him immediately after learning he was in prison. So when Anoosh shared his stories with her, she was just in awe of his past history.
"I tell you all this because it's important that you know. Our family memory must not be lost." (pg. 60) It was so crucial for Anoosh to pass on his history to the future generation of Iran because the youth need to understand the changes in power over their country in order to be able to stand up for themselves someday. Perhaps Anoosh knew his time was coming to end soon and didn't want his story to disappear in vain.
"Get out of my life!!! I never want to see you again!" (pg. 70) Marjane was so faithful she was the last prophet and she spoke with God every night. After the Republic oppressors executed Anoosh and covered it up by claiming he was a Russian spy, Marjane became really upset and heartbroken. This lead to her abandoning her faith in God and becoming a prophet.
I think Marjane will try to follow in the footsteps of Anoosh. My reason for this is because she loved him very much and in order to honor him, she'll become more rebellious towards the ways of the Republic oppressors.

I am
I am Billy. I was born here in San Jose, CA and I've been living here since. I graduated from William C. Overfelt High School in the year of 2010. I was really glad I was able to walk the stage with my class considering my lazy habits which definitely affected my school work. Currently, I still have yet to overcome that terrible habit of mines as I hope to do in order give my study the attention it needs. I am currently working on completing my GE and my major is still undecided at this point, it's quite embarrassing as I see other people who know exactly what they want to do with their lives and I'm still uncertain of my own career path. Though there is one major I have in mind and that is mathematics. With this, I've been considering becoming a mathematics teacher as I like to help others who struggle with math like I do. It's probably odd that someone who isn't so good in the subject of mathematics wants to actually major in it but I know I'll just have to try my best and only then will I know what I'm capable of.
Something random about me is my family never travels anywhere so the places I've visited outside of San Jose is next to none. I've never been on an airplane before but I definitely would like to travel in one of them someday, particularly, Japan. I'd like to visit this place someday just because It's a dream, of everyone who likes to watch anime, to visit Japan at least once in their life. I enjoy watching anime because I think it is just amazing and I can't get enough of it.
I like to spend lots of my time playing online games. I won't say how many hours I've spent playing online games simply because It's just too many xd. Some may wonder how one can spend all day playing a game and my answer would be addiction. Once you're hooked, It's really hard to stop, so telling someone to quit really doesn't help. Despite how pitiful this may all sound, I wouldn't say it was all bad. I have learned a lot while playing these games for example the importance of friendship. I can say my view of friendship before playing the game has changed dramatically after gaining all the experience. There are situations where you can choose to betray a friend over greed or build a stronger trust or bond between each other. Without the help of friends, one will not get very far alone. I've learned to never intentionally do bad things to other people. The saying of "treat others the way you want to be treated" is something I've adapted to and do honestly try to follow it.
A few things that annoy me include: talking while chewing food, chewing with mouth open, and chewing crunchy food in a quiet area, don't ask me why, they just do =(. Well I was glad to share some things about myself with you guys. Thanks for reading.
