Persepolis & the poems
I don't really like this book so I manly skimmed through it. I think that the panel on page 69 where Siamak comes home is like the poem War is kind. I think the poem is about how the end of war is kind. Depending on the side you are on you either get a better life or you lose. In this case I think the poem is talking about how great war is when it ends and you are on the wining side. In the book you don't know what happens in the war yet, but this man has returned home. It is a very happy time. He has been a prisoner of war and now is back home and safe. The last stanza of the poem is "Mother whose heart hung humble as a button On the bright splendid shroud of your on, Do not weep. War is kind!" I think this is when the dead son returns home to be burried, but even though it is very sad that he died you should be happy because he faught for his country. He was fighting a war that could benefit you. I think this stanza is most like the panal on page 69. It was so sad that he was away and being tortuerd, but now that he's back everyone is happy especially because he came back alive.
