This story is about a ten year old girl that wants to become a prophet when she grows up. She thinks very mature for her age, and she has a lot of questions. One of the questions being, 'why do women have to wear a veil'. All the young girls about her age were upset, and wondered why they had to wear it. It became a law because of the revolution. Their new leader thought not wearing a veil and disorganization would symbolize decadence. Marjane wants to become a prophet because god tells her, and encourages her to become a prophet; a leader. Since then, Marjane is interested in the revolution and how it works. Although people discourage her about becoming a prophet, she doesn't let herself down. She is very strong in her words, she is very curious, and  she will do all she can to get the world to be in full peace.
