Marjane was different than the people in Europe because she grew up in a place of war and her definition of pain was a lot worse than everyone around her. On page 194  Marjane  wanted her past to disappear, she said this because she was different from everybody else and could not relate. She was different because she grew up in a place of war and her definition of pain was a lot worse than everyone around her.   I don't believe it was that she felt the bad about it but her past was keeping her from socializing with her friends and understanding them. On page 197 however she was tired of trying to become something she wasn't and said " you were going to shut up or I'm going to make you i am an Iranian and proud of it!"   This showed that she had given up trying to understand her new friends and excepted that she was going to be different no matter what she did and accepted it.  This isn't to say she gave up socializing  because on page 209 she joined a group of anarchists to try to understand them better in their way of life,  she stopped completely trying to be someone she wasn't to impress others however she didn't give up on society and instead try to be part of it as her self.

In what ways did Marjane find it difficult to fit back into Iranian society?

Marjane found it difficult to adjust for many reasons the biggest reason being family and friends. when she first got to Terran she did not want to see anyone (250) we later find on page 258 this is because she "didn't know whether or not they knew about (her) European failure. (She) was scared that they would be disappointed." When she started meeting her family however they were fascinated in her knowledge of European customs. Her friends were completely the opposite she felt comfortable that it would go well but they were shocked by her not going to clubs (259) and after first being exited about her sexual life later they called her a whore (270). One of the biggest problems she had connecting with everyone is she felt they did not understand what she went through in Europe and she was to afraid to bring it up because they were at war (267).

OHP

Our oral history project interview went fairly well,  the only things I would change are minor things.  As a videographer it was my job to take a video and transfer it onto a computer, my job went fairly well. The only problem was I forgot to ask how to transfer it onto a computer, with some help I was able to do it, but it took about an hour and a half to start the upload in and then another 30 minutes to upload. During the actual videography of the interview everything went pretty well if I could change anything  I didn't ask any questions and I feel that I should have but we got all the information we needed by the end so it wasn't that big of a deal. This was a very fun group project and everybody in my group did their work on time but One thing we did to help make this happen is as a group before doing the assignments instead of emailing each other about what we should have done we spoke together and made sure everybody understood their part so that when it was ...
