question: what is expected for girls to do in Iran? How does Marji from //Persepolis// meet these expectations?

women have to show modesty,preservation and how dedicated they are to their homes, while  men __work__ and show the reputation of the family through __work__.

Marji meets the expetations because she has to wear the veil every day. She meets the expectations, but she resists them at the same time because she was used to living in Iran when they did not have to follow these religious rules. She is a very relgious person and wears the veil but doesnt like too. "I really didnt know what to think about the veil. Deep down i was very relgious but as a family we were very modern and avant-garde." Women are expected to wear the veil at all times when they are infront of people that they don't live with. (public). Marji meets them because even though she doesn't like wearing the veil she does it because she has to and she is a very relgoius person that follows the culture rules.
