Siempre apoyo el aumento de percepción de la verdad en vez de la propaganda.Antes de empezar, debería saber que no he leído los libros. Siempre quería leerlos, y todos que conozco que los han leído, se les gustaron. Pero después de todo, no pasó, a pesar de mi pasión por la literatura gráfica. Además, soy iraní y traje conmigo al cine esa identidad.Los vistazos escuetos en la mente de una mujer iraní y joven que tiene que aprender a vivir con la confusión de un país destruido por la revolución y la guerra mientras que busca una identidad que la gente occidental puede aceptar fue bien descrito y comunicado a la vez. Esta fue el tema principal de la película y yo creo que merece más atención y análisis que recibe. No solo es una historia de la experiencia iraní en el extranjero, sino una experiencia tal vez compartida por todos los inmigrantes del mundo. Sin embargo, la historia me afectó mucho. Puedo decir verdaderamente que la dificultad sentimental que la película describió es una que comparte casi toda la gente iraní que conozco. Por eso, la película es catártica por ese público también. O sea, la película es accesible en un nivel intelectual por unos, sentimental por otros, y ambos por muchos.El medio en que se lo presentó fue refrescante también. La película no diverge del arte original de las novelas gráficas. La simplicidad de las imágenes blanquinegras permitió que se enfocara más en la historia – y una historia bien escrita siempre es mejor que una película promedio, lo que sea.

It may be that you will not meet again in this life.&lt;br /&gt;A goodbye isn't painful unless you're never going to say hello again.&lt;br /&gt;Missing someone gets easier every day because even though it's one day further from the last time you saw each other, it's one day closer to the next time you will.&lt;br /&gt;Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.&lt;br /&gt;Great is the art of beginning, but greater is the art of ending.&lt;br /&gt;The best things said come last. People will talk for hours saying nothing much and then linger at the door with words that come with a rush from the heart.&lt;br /&gt;A man never knows how to say goodbye; a woman never knows when to say it.&lt;br /&gt;Good-byes breed a sort of distaste for whomever you say good-bye to;

When the short days of winter came, dusk fell before I had strolled the somber  and bustling streets of New York.                                                           &lt;br /&gt;I had worn my woolen pullover, as dark as the sky, which itself contributed to the augmentation of disillusionment in my spirit. Remembering sweet memories of the past made me so homesick. The home which I had left reluctantly  and the relatives whom  I  had not seen for a long time .We (my family and I) lost everything very soon. My story goes back  to the time when my family and I lived in our own country, Iran  where we owned everything like a nice and luxury  home and private cars while my father was the owner of a large clothing factory. We were pleased with our life and everything was going well.&lt;br /&gt;My mother was a doting and devoted woman and she herself was the daughter of one of the illustrious landowners, that is why she had never experienced the taste of misery  and melancholy in her life. Unlike many women of her class, she was wrapped up in religion and had a strong belief in these things. On the contrary, my father was uninterested in the religious considerations. He had devoted his time only to earn money and get pleasure from amassing it.&lt;br /&gt;I myself was interested in taking the veterinary course in the uuniversity but my father constantly discouraged me and asked me to forget all about such foolish thoughts and instead  back him in running the factory and continue his job after him but I was not interested, besides  I had found my aptitude in something else.&lt;br /&gt;3rd  of October 1971 when my grandfather departed this life my father had to leave school in order to provide his orphan siblings with food and lodging. He had led a very  hard and miserable life in his youth  but by running the small shop of his father and establishing a workshop beside that his life changed substantially  and he became rich then. But Everything changed suddenly as no one could  even think of that, a catastrophe . The clothing factory  belonging  to my father caught fire  and nothing remained of that. Father was thrown into bankruptcy , therefore he decided to sell most of his properties to pay back the debts of creditors . &lt;br /&gt;All of a sudden and very unexpectedly father came to this conclusion that it would be better for us to leave the country, all of us at any rate had to accompany him although we were not quite pleased . One of the reasons which had coerced us to leave our homeland was my mother disease ,a kind of cancer and also asthma ; nearly all of the doctors in our country had disappointed us , besides father constantly reiterated that the most knowledgeable doctors are abroad that is why he  persisted more in his decision of leaving.&lt;br /&gt;5th  April,1990 . Our destination was in Frankfurt , 15 days of living in Germany extended to one month  while it was not our real  target, we had planned to travel to America . Fortunately we managed to provide the rest of money for a visa to that country.&lt;br /&gt;We reached LosAngeles, there plethora of our compatriots lived but this matter did  not undermine the intensity of our  desire to  come  back home, to be honest I had missed my homeland .Anyway  it was not an ideal place to work and make a comfortable living .After years of ordering others in his homeland, father had to labour here .Air in LosAngeles was raw so that it could make my mother s asthma worse while father was suffering from a terrible backache.&lt;br /&gt;I found a low-paid job in a hotel at last .Whenever possible I drowned in daydreaming and remembered my past memories. Each day roughly 16 hours a challenging work and dealing with a bunch of tourists had made me tire out , but I had to put up with such things. I felt as if my pride, dignity and motivation  were melting like the ice , when  I  thought of my relatives and my friends then my eyes became tearful .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12th December 1996 .Sacramento a beautiful place and the colorful paradise for the tourists . As I had heard of my colleagues in LosAngeles  ,here in Sacramento it was easier to earn money that is why I was convinced to quit my former job to find a well-paid one.On the one hand my father had become  so old, on the other hand I needed more money to afford my mother s huge expenditures for her disease.&lt;br /&gt;Luckily, the ray of hope was revived in my heart ,maybe a way back to my country. I  was employed as a  caretaker in a museum with  enough money, that money which I could muster in a short time and at least once make my parents feel better by letting them see their relatives and homeland. Little by little it crossed my mind to buy inexpensive goods from the auctions and sell them in other cities at higher prices. It was  another way to garner the amount of money needed to go back to my country  better than nothing.&lt;br /&gt;After three years wrestling with such difficulties, I could buy a small shop in Sacramento. My calculations turned out spot on and I was onward to make my parents wish come true, oh goodness! At last I could make it and I see ourselves in our own homeland now. Everything  is fine and my parents condition is better than before. My mother has recovered from his disease.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Home,Sweet Home!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9206888122603082836-4095174777565098984?l=starofpersia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://starofpersia.blogspot.com/feeds/4095174777565098984/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9206888122603082836&amp;postID=4095174777565098984' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9206888122603082836/posts/default/4095174777565098984'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9206888122603082836/posts/default/4095174777565098984'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://starofpersia.blogspot.com/2007/04/story.html' title='A Story'/><author><name>gary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07722497355144870821</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9206888122603082836.post-8361348167580966406</id><published>2007-04-12T00:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-12T00:36:01.530-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Racial Violence</title><content type='html'>The use of violence as a method of control and supremacy over those who are considered to be inferior and feeble is practised in many cultures, societies and countries of the world. At the familial level, it is used against women, children and other vulnerable members of the family. At the national and international level, poor people, asylum seekers, refugees, black and minority ethnic, migrant and Indigenous people  are frequently subjected to, or threatened with, violence by the state and the institutions. Any form of violence is harmful to the victim and has wider implications for society as a whole. Racism is a doctrine of abhorrence of people based on the belief that certain people are superior to others.&lt;br /&gt;Throughout history, groups of people who share certain characteristics have been subjected to heartless, unfair and unkind treatment because of their difference from the dominant group. The difference has been described as racial and therefore it is apt to define violence which is perpetrated on basis of colour, ethnicity and nationality as racial violence. Racial violence differs from other forms of violence in that the origin causes deal with supposition of superiority and aversion of other people who are deemed to be inferior because of their identity, ethnic origin, nationality, national origins or descent; and because of their appearance and physical characteristics such as colour, language and dress.  Racial violence is shown in different ways. In its mildest form, it can be pushing, spitting, name-calling, teasing, or practical jokes. In more serious cases it involves physical assault, rape, murder,  massacres and genocide.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   While physical violence is easier to recognise, other forms of violence are equally detrimental. In lower quarters , this kind of harassment exerts  serious impacts on  the health and wellbeing of people subjected to it. It leaves physical and psychological effects which are passed on from person to person in the community and remembered by generations to come. Living in fear because one belongs to a race or a group of people who are subjected to violence and constant harassment is a major cause of mental health and low self esteem. Those who are racially harassed often assume an identity with the negative images. Resistance sometimes leads to further more dangerous harassment and discrimination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The disgust of racially excruciating murders is too agonizing to realize. It leaves a long-term negative impression on the minds of the victims family, community and society as a whole. It is an intimidation and warning which people who care about humanity  should never overlook. It is a warning of the consequences of racial and ethnic abhorrence which can lead to the arbitrary slaughter of men, women and children by other human beings justified by hatred and enmity of the others. The genocides in Bosnia and Kosovo are recent reminders of the evil that can be generated by political systems.&lt;br /&gt;The state response to racial violence indicates the way society  and the political systems behave towards those who are supposed  to be different. In many countries, people have been murdered because of their ethnic origin, nationality or their colour. In Britain the list extends to over a hundred Black people murdered over the last ten years. The most well known case is that of Stephen Lawrence, stabbed to death on 22 April 1993 as he waited for a bus in London. The attack was unprovoked and the only reason for his murder was that he was Black. His death was tragic, but the failure of the judiciary system  to seize and indict those responsible redoubled the sorrow and grievance of his family, the Black community and anti-racism activists everywhere. The enquiry which supervened, following his parents’ continual operation in search of truth and justice, revealed well-established institutional racism within the police force which had led to unforgivable errors in the caring for Stephen as he lay dying. Undoubtedly  racism played a decisive role, not just in the stabbing but in the consequent response made by the police. Stephen’s life was worthless not only to his killers but to the system in the country he called home.&lt;br /&gt;As it was argued racial violence as  a  recent  universal phenomenon  has substantially  messed up all the equalitieis and also  has deterred people to develop logical and fair thinking of others  and still  continues to grow so that with this rate of enormous  growth it may result in further not far-fetched repercussions. Therefore, it is obligatory to  take effective and practical  measures in order to uproot this scourge .&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9206888122603082836-8361348167580966406?l=starofpersia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://starofpersia.blogspot.com/feeds/8361348167580966406/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9206888122603082836&amp;postID=8361348167580966406' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9206888122603082836/posts/default/8361348167580966406'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9206888122603082836/posts/default/8361348167580966406'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://starofpersia.blogspot.com/2007/04/racial-violence.html' title='Racial Violence'/><author><name>gary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07722497355144870821</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9206888122603082836.post-1788146435089386751</id><published>2007-04-12T00:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-12T00:29:09.664-07:00</updated><title type='text'>William Levy Gutierrez</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_US_5tPZL6vA/Rh3fmBJfA-I/AAAAAAAAAAM/8S86zNyVlXM/s1600-h/pic03[2].jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5052440201215804386" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_US_5tPZL6vA/Rh3fmBJfA-I/AAAAAAAAAAM/8S86zNyVlXM/s320/pic03%5B2%5D.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;William Levy Gutierrez is my most favourite actor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9206888122603082836-1788146435089386751?l=starofpersia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://starofpersia.blogspot.com/feeds/1788146435089386751/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9206888122603082836&amp;postID=1788146435089386751' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9206888122603082836/posts/default/1788146435089386751'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9206888122603082836/posts/default/1788146435089386751'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://starofpersia.blogspot.com/2007/04/william-levy-gutierrez.html' title='William Levy Gutierrez'/><author><name>gary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07722497355144870821</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_US_5tPZL6vA/Rh3fmBJfA-I/AAAAAAAAAAM/8S86zNyVlXM/s72-c/pic03%5B2%5D.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
