Satrapi vs. e.e. cummings

I compared a panel on page 10 and the first line in "Next to of Course God America I". Satrapi writes on page ten, "The year of the revolution I had to take action. So i put my prophetic destiny aside for awhile." Satrapi was a young child who believed her destiny was to be a prophet of God. But when her country started to undergo the revolution she put that aside as she tried to help her country. In the poem, "Next to of course god america i love you land of the pilgrims' and so forth on," Both Satrapi and e.e. cummings have a huge place in their hearts for God, but right beside that is their country. Iran for Satrapi and America for e.e. cummings. This becomes a confict in their lives trying to decide which to side with, God or their country. Satrapi becomes torn because she has believed for awhile she is not menat to do anything else but be gods prophet. She tells her classmates and her teachers call up her parents and say they are worried about Marjane. She then covers it up saying Oh no i want to be a doctor. KNowing in her heart thats not at all what she wanted to be. In the very beginning of the book God is around alot more frequently. She writes that he comes to see her every single night. After the start of the revolution we see less and less of God. Which eventually defines who they become.
