Feedback on Real IO Practise #
- Refer the chosen text to the whole book. (literature)
- Talk more about the author and her background
- Marjane’s family and herself is a social activist who knows that women shouldn’t be treated badly by men and should be given equality. However, in the third row of the chosen text, the male character seems like he is dragging her forcefully to somewhere to do something and she is not doing anything. She just thinks about what he might tell her instead of what thinking about what he is actually doing it to her.
Question: how can someone stay true to their identities?
Answer and feedback: in order to stay true to our own identities, we need the positive support from the society and people around us who can encourage the person to have a positive mind set and always being optimistic about our own body image. Like how the Dove campaign #speakbeautiful shows support to women by helping them to realise their personal potential beauty by creating products that deliver real care and encourage them to be confident in the society. However, in Persepolis, Marjane doesn’t get much support from her surroundings and there is no one who could actually give her positive advice. This is mainly because she moved to Austria which is a new surrounding and people around her didn’t know her really well nor does she but its the society that doesn’t take the action first. It doesn’t mean that everyone should each other in the society to help each other. Therefore for Marjane it is the lack of support from the people around her.
