This is a story of Mehri's Reality. A young girl from Iran.
Пързалка: 2
My family life was broken so I went to work for the Satrapis. My parents were too poor to look after me, I was only 8 years old.
Sorry Mehri but you have to go.
We are delighted to have her work for us.
No mum, please don't make me go!
Пързалка: 3
In my new family I had a little sister. Her name was Marji. My new life with a rich family was a very comfortable life style, although after all I was just a maid.
Oh okay then, just for you Marji.
Come on Mehri, Can we play hide and seek?
Пързалка: 4
I started to fall madly in love with Hossine at the beginning of the revolution when i was just 16 years old. Here I am trying to look my best as I can see Hossine in the window.
Look at Hossine, he is so handsome.
sis, can you help me tie my shoes, pleaseee.
Пързалка: 5
Even though I lived in a rich household, I knew deep down that I was still a peasant that couldn't read or write.
Yeah sis, of course I'll try my best.
Hey Marji, I have a favour to ask. I know you're only young and don't know too much yet, but could you write a letter to Hossine for me and put it in my name?
Пързалка: 6
After working for the Satrapis for years, I hadn't seen my real sister for a long time. I told her about my boyfriend.
Yeah sis, I have been. Mum and dad shipped me off too. Cool to hear that you have a boyfriend!
Hey sis, Long time no see. I heard that your working for Marji's uncle. Is that for real? I have a new boyfriend now. His name is Hossine.
Пързалка: 7
This is Marji reading to me Hossine's letters that he wrote. I wish I could read them myself but this will do for the time being.
He is so sweet. I can't wait to one day marry him.
Dear Mehri, oh how much I adore you. My favourite part of the day is when we talk through the windows.
Hossine

After a few visits, my sister starts to fall for Hossine too!
I guess you could say that?
Hossine really is cute isn't he? I adore him.
Пързалка: 10
My sister was so jealous that she told Marji's uncle that I was in love with Hossine. Eventually Marji's dad found out and was not happy.
I can't believe my own sister would betray me!
Пързалка: 11
Marji's dad was very angry. He wanted to get a hold of Hossine as soon as possible.
Hello, I would like to have a word with your son Hossine.
Who's speaking?
Пързалка: 12
Hossine agreed to come outside and have a talk to Marji's dad.
Seriously? This is absurd. I could never be seen with a maid.
Hossine, I am going to get straight to the point here. Mehri is pretending to be my daughter but in fact she is my maid.
Пързалка: 13
Marji's father and Hossine have a serious talk and Hossine debates whether to continue seeing Mehri.
ermmmm...
I understand that this is a terrible situation. Do you still want to be with her?
Пързалка: 14
Hossine chose to break up with me, handing over all of our letters.
Here are the letters, I am breaking up with Mehri. Im quite sure to end it.
Okay, good decision. Wait, this is Marji's handwriting
letters
Пързалка: 15
Marji's dad confronted Marji about the letters.
Dad, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to make you angry. I was just trying to help out Mehri!
MARJI, WHAT ARE THESE LETTERS! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ANYTHING.
Пързалка: 16
Marji's dad explained to her what I knew all along. We could never be together because we are from a different social class.
Marji, in Iran we must stay in our own social class. It doesn't matter how much you love someone.
Thats so unfair! Who's side are you even on here?
Пързалка: 17
The Satrapi's had never made me feel like a second class citizen. But it changed today. At least Marji tried to understand.
I'm so sorry Marji, I didn't mean to get you in trouble. You are so kind and beautiful. Just like a sister.
It's ok Mehri. I know you can't help the way you were born. Now I can see why we need the revolution.
Пързалка: 18
I've realised I'm different but it doesn't make it right for me to be belittled. I want to fight for change and stand up for my rights. LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC!
I believed in the revolution helping women like me. Boy was I wrong!
