"Everything will be alright." (Satrapi pp. 65,66 & 70)
These reoccurring words really stuck with me. It is interesting that they pop up three times. When everything in Iran is going so badly Uncle Anoosh tries to be reassuring. Then after his death Marji tries to keep up his spirit. Each time this phrase is used, the picture that goes with it gets a little more destitute. It would be very hard to keep a positive attitude during these times. But Uncle Anoosh really tried. Marji really looked up to and idolized her uncle.
For those of you who have not done so, check out the You Tube video under our assignments of Satrapi. It is interesting to her her talk and see her face. It make the book even more "alive."
