This the first time that Marjane speaks up to the readers telling exactly what is in her mind unlike the panels from the previous pages where she only makes eye contacts. With only eye contacts the readers can only infer what is Marjane is trying to bring out through the panel.
In this panel, Marjane said "we confronted the regime as best we could," meaning she is not satisfied with the rules and laws by the government in her country; this surely shows her rebellious attitude as if she is saying "this book is mine, I can do what ever I want."
In class Kelvin also brought up a very interesting idea of the cover where the main characters in Persepolis are looking at a person beside them, which forms a cycle. I think this cycle starts with Marjane's dad--> then Marjane's mom--> Marjane's Grandma--> LIttle Marjane--> Anoosh--> Big Marjane. The ending point of this cycle is big Marjane since this cover shows the important people in her life who affected or influenced her to become who she is(the end point to the circle!). These people in the cover therefore reflect to the growing process and experiences of Marjane Satropi.
