Childhood Struggles

Majane Satrapi reflected on her childhood in Perspolis. It really shows what it was like growing up in war time. I didn't grow up in a revolution, and odds are that no one in college lit did either. I thought it would be interesting to have you all comment on some childhood memory that has helped shape who you are. It's ovbious that the experience of growing up while a revolution was rising is different than most kids' childhoods. It's ovbious that Satrapi had the revolution on her mind when she was a kid. What is the thing that you remember most about your childhood?

Personally, I remember all of the road trips that I went on with my family. Every summer my family would take a road trip to a historical location, a national park, or a relative's house. We traveld a lot. I wouldn't be able to to put all the memories on this blog post. I'm glad my parents took me all over the country, because I'll never forget it. Those trips were very educational.
