Question

read the excerpts from does my head look big in this? and persepolis. excerpt from does my head look big in this?: my best friends, leila okulgen and yasmeen khan, moved on to a public high school close to coburg, where they live. i begged my parents to let me go with them but mom and dad insisted that i go to a private school. i tried everything. at first i sucked up to them big time, making them coffee after dinner, offering to set the table before mom had a chance to ask me, letting them watch pbs documentaries when i wanted to watch big brother. that didnt work. so i turned political, ranting about them perpetuating the snobby bourgeoisie power trip of our educational system which forges aristocratic divisions between social classes (i got that from a pbs documentary). talk about having no compassion or social conscience. they just laughed at me and gave which statement is true about the narrators different perspectives? amal is worried about how the political situation will affect her education, while marjane is concerned with helping people who are suffering. amal is concerned about the suffering of people around her, while marjane is concerned only with her own suffering. amal and marjane are both dedicated to learning about the political landscape and using their knowledge to help others. amal and marjane are both interested in taking what they have learned about politics and social class and applying it to their own situation.

Explanation:

By analyzing the excerpt from "Does My Head Look Big in This?", Amal is shown to be concerned with the social - class implications of the educational system. There is no indication that she is worried about the political situation affecting her education or that she is only concerned with the suffering around her. Marjane's perspective is not given in this excerpt, but based on the options and the information about Amal, we can rule out the incorrect ones. The first option about Amal's concern regarding education due to politics is not supported. The second option about Amal only being concerned with others' suffering is also not in line with the text. The third option about both being dedicated to learning about the political landscape and helping others has no evidence for Marjane in this excerpt. The fourth option about applying knowledge of politics and social - class to their own situation seems most in line with Amal's rant about the educational system's class - based divisions.

Answer:

Amal and Marjane are both interested in taking what they have learned about politics and social class and applying it to their own situation.
