Why did Marjane's parents decide to send her to Europe? Do you think this was the right decision? Why or why not? (Harrison, Kim. "ELA 2015-2016")
I think the reason that her parents sent her away was to get her out of the country and make it so she did not half to live there. Her parents came to the conclusion that she would be better off living in another country for her life. Even after the war Iran would still keep the beliefs. In Iran she would not have that many rights and would half to live in fear. I think that they wanted her to learn how to live in Western Culture so she could have the opportunities that she would not in Iran. The reason I think this is that is on page 203 her mother comments on how it is nice that she doesn't need to worry about being arrested for her cloths. Also another reason is on page 153 her mother passes out like she will never see her again leading me to believe that her parents don't want her to come back. I think that this was the right decision to send Marjane away. She will have a bright future in the western cultures.

I agree with what you are saying, but I also think that they sent her away for a few other reasons. I think that they did not want her to stay in Iran because she ran the risk of dying or being arrested at any moment. They sent her away when she was so young because they did not know when the boarders would be closed again.
