As you can see, on the top there are so many men trying to sell Illegal Items. Marji on the other hand is trying to look for something. On the 2nd image you can see a not-so good looking man try to sell Marji a tape. On the 3rd image she buys it and you can see that Marji is trying to Hide her tape since, you know it was illegal. Anyways, on the bottom you can see that Some women are telling her to stop. These women are inspectors( Guardians of the revolution.) They make sure that every girl/women is wearing their veil right and that they are dressed appropriately. Marji Is not dressed how she should be so they stop her. Marji is a bit scared because she might get caught. The Theme here is Order vs chaos because it is an order to wear veils correctly and if you get caught in any form it can create Chaos

Context: In this panel, it shows that Baba-Levy’s house was bombed, and someone might have died in there.
Composition: I noticed that Margi’s mom is pulling her away from the bombing and that there’s a bracelet in the rubble that Neda was wearing.
Communication: The bracelet is showing that Marji’s friend Neda died in the house because she always saw her wearing a bracelet and she never took it off. The pitch-black represents Marji losing part of herself from basically seeing a dead person.
Connection: This connects to when Trevor felt the sorrow in his heart knowing his mom might die from a gunshot wound unexpectedly.

Context ’ The bomb directly hit the baba levy’s home and no one knew if they died or not.
Composition’I noticed that Marjis mother seems to notice the bracelet as well or she looked in the same direction as Marji, but ignored its presence. Her mom was still trying to protect her from the cruelty in the world. I also notice that theres a image of the sky which can resemble where the baba levys went to after death or her heart feels empty.
Communication’ This is revealing that the unexpected can happen at times and moving on is the only priority as Marji’s mother is trying to move on without thinking about what happened to the Baba levy family. Marji seems to not want to move on, which is a break in that communication.
Connection’ This connects to Trevor Noah, I think it connects to when he lost friends or moved schools and had to keep moving on.
