Suheir Hammad & Marjane Satrapi on War

"I have danced to your drummed out war" This struck me because a war is the exact some thing over and over with a few changes just like a real drum. "I will not kill for you and especially not die for you" This struck me because I would not die for a plastic key, even with all the "promises" they promise you. And i will not kill just because you told me. And i know most people wont die or kill just because somebody told you to do so. "I will not mourn the death with murder or suicide" This struck me because its true to me. I will not kill people just because this person I never knew died, and I will never kill my self for someone i never knew. "I will not dance with bombs" This struck me because who would want to dance with something that they know will kill them. I think being next to them is a stupid idea.

Some connection i found between Suheir's ideas and Marjane's were that they are both free spirted. Also Marjane and Suheir think that war is stupid. And that war effects people, like their personalty and emotions towards something. And that they wanted to hug a woman. In Marjane's case it was her mom or dad or grandma. In Suheir it was that women mourn about their lost husbands and sons. 

Lastly, the thing that struck me the most from Suheir and Persepolis is that war is a very big thing to the people where the war is taking place at. And that many people die in war for a very stupid promise that the government had said. And all wars tears family members apart. And that in Persepolis the west were using Iraq and Iran as guinea pigs to there chemical projects. And that a spoken word is very boring to listen to.
