Part Two Suheir Hammad & Marjane Satrapi on War

Revolution is a historic event that changes the world from how it lives to how it works. The way Suheir says what she thinks of a revolution makes her sound like there is no hope in the world. I think she thinks everyone in the world hates her people but not everyone is evil. "Assume they know me, or that I represented a people, or that a people represented an evil, or that evil is as simple as a flag and words on a page." I think this quote was very powerful in the sense that everyone has the chance not to be evil despite the fact of their nationality.
Marjane Satrapi has every right to do what she's doing. I think that she and all the other people protesting are good and the government is bad. Because the government in egypt is not doing what they're supposed to be doing. They need to listen to the people and respond to their needs, instead, they do whatever they want to make them be more powerful.
