Argumentative Essay

     Johan Bennett thinks the novel Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi should be banned from the public schools, but it shouldn't! This book is great. Also it shows Iran people’s life, and because it shows the right and bad way to live life. Schools should not be banning this great book!
     One reason that Persepolis should not be banned is because it shows real life. For example when Marjane goes through a melancholy stage in life. She goes through deaths of her relatives (70.1). This is important because students will get how life can be and learn something from it. Also when she saw violence with her own eyes. This important because no matter what happen, Marjane kept her life going. It is clear that I showed real life experience.
     Another reason why schools shouldn't banned Persepolis is because students might want to know how people's life are in Iran. This book Is great for that. They could find what they need, also compare it to their life. They could know how life struggle works out with no freedom and decisions to leave, to get the freedom you want(153.3). This is important because it shows the way ,to be better, or having to leave for the brighter side of the world. Additionally to know what's good and bad(151.3). This is important because students could think that their life is not that bad. It is clear that people would want to know how life in Iran can be.
     Some people would argue to ban Persepolis. It is true that she did bad things in life.Nevertheless, she is a teenager and does dumb things like every teenager, and doesn't know what they're doing. This is important because it shows how students action could be and teachers and parents could teach them to do good. Therefore, this book is a guide for them.
     My final reason is that schools should not banned Persepolis is because it shows the wrong way to live and how to live life. For example Marjane made a mistake but then did the right thing after she try committing suicide(273.8). This is important because the students would think twice before doing what's not good. Also is that there is always challenges in life but she kept going on with her life and began to study and went back to school(341.3). This is important because students would know to do good in life and to not give up. It's clear that it shows the bad and right way to live life.
     This book is great! Persepolis shows real life experience, shows iran people's life , and shows right and bad way to live life. Schools should learn real life experience in this book as well, in that case this book shouldn't be banned from schools.
