The social upheaval in Iran during Marjane's childhood was hugely influential in shaping her as a person. As a young child, she learned much more about how society works (or doesn't) than the average child. She also learned to think for herself at a young age; through her father and his various revolutionary friends, she learned much about philosophy and government, and started thinking about deep issues as a child. She also lost faith in God at a young age, showing just how powerful this period in her life was for her.
