The Passport

After reading this chapter and more specifically page 121 when the aunt of Marji tell her that his uncle needs an open heart surgery and they were not equipted there in Iran it made remember about my grandfather's cancer. When he was diagnosed the doctors told my family he had to be operated of the kidney, so my uncle had to call a specialized doctor to do the surgery because there was no one in the city that was specialized in those types of complicated surgeries. Also in this page when Marji's aunt told her that he had to leave to have the surgery but he had to get a passport from the government to leave the country I remembered of the movie called The Lady which is based on the real life of the leader Aung San Suu Kyi who wanted to restore democracy in Burma. Since she was the enemy of the dictator of that country she was not allowed to leave Burma and her family which was from Great Britain had to have a special passport in order to travel there that was also given by the government.
