Have you 1 ever been stereotyped before? Well in the Personal pronoun in formal writing
2
books Persepolis and Persepolis 2 marjane 2 and her [marjane → Marjane]
mother, Taji, stereotype people a lot based on what they
grew up knowing. Marjane grew up in Iran and later on
moved to Austria when she was about 14 when she arrived
everything was different than what she 3 grew up

Marjane is staying with eight guys and automatically

4
without even knowing we do it. [worst. . → worst.]
Some examples of this are on page 13 in Persepolis book
number two, when Marjane describes her knew 5 friends in
Austria as the punk/druggie group. We automatically
picture people in all black and having drugs in their hands
5
at all times or with a bunch of piercings. Without even Possibly confused word
knowing it we put all of Marjane’s friends in the social
group with punk rockers and druggies. Yes, we all know
that is how she described them but does not mean that they
are actually like that. Another example of this is on page 38
in Persepolis book number two, when she was with her
punk/druggie friends she felt like she had to act like them.
She felt she had to do drugs with them or they would think
she was uncool. Marjane never even said no she just faked
it she had no clue about how they would react if she did not
do the drugs.
Another example of this is on page 23 in Persepolis book
number two, would be the fact that the nun put Marjane in
a group with all of the other Iranians because she was
eating noodles 6

out 7 of a pot. So the nun said “it’s 8 true what they say
about Iranians they have no education.” which is
automatically putting Marjane in a group based on other
Iranians. When Marjane heard the nun say this 9 she

replied back with “Its 10 true what they say about you too. [noodles.]

That you 11 were all prostitutes before you 12 were nuns!”

7

she also put the nuns in a group of people based on what [out → Out]
8
[it's → it is]
she heard.
Another example is on page 47 in Persepolis book
number two, when her mother heard she was staying with

8 13 guys she automatically assumed that she was doing the [this,]
10
[Its → It's]

Personal pronoun in formal writing
social group with all the other guys based on what she
knew. Then when her mother found out 14 they were
homosexuals 15 she was even more worried than before.
She did this all based on how she was raised 16 and what the
13

government in Iran was telling her she had to believe. [8 → eight]

Marjane and the other characters in her book knew they

were stereotyping the other people. The characters only
did this because of how they were raised 17 and how
everyone was telling them to believe. The reason that this
is wrong is because 18 even after Marjane was in Austria for
14

more than a year and she had learned all there ways she [out,]
15

still was being a stereotype 19

towards 20 other people. So Marjane and the other

characters in the book stereotyped other characters based
on how they were raised 21 and how the government wanted
them to think.

all the women changed themselves so that they would not

We put people in different groups without realizing it. In
