A child is supposed to enjoy their childhood with the joy and freedom with their peace of mind but many don't have the opportunity to enjoy this luxury. Marjane, as many other children in society, was exposed to the "adult world" early in her childhood with the the social conditions caused by the Islamic Revolution in Iran. This helped her realize some hardships of the real world in an environment full of wars, which in a way could have helped her develop her patriotism in hoping her country to be free and liberal instead of communistic. This helped her develop an initiative in becoming a prophet for GOD which inspired her curiosity in the war topics surrounding her.This impact of the "adult world" exposing itself to Marjane could have also harmed her as a individual because too much exposure to the real world impacted her childhood activities affecting her perspective of life as a women someday. At an early age girls were required to wear a veil because apparently too much hair exposure aroused males around them (really??) The harmful experiences she lived in a hostile environment brought her up to a point where she sought vengeance on a little boy chasing him with nails because his father was a communist who murdered "more than a thousand people." There is information that some children should not be exposed to until they truly enjoy their childhood without any hardships. Children should be exposed to the information that concerns them in their family not all the complicated information involving society. Its true children have their methods in discovering some of the things thats happening around them which we can't control and either way we can't keep both eyes on them all the time they have to independently discover the world, but to this we should maintain close attention to the media attention children nowadays are exposed to
