Why did Marjane's parents decide to send her to Europe? Do you think this was the right decision? Why or why not? (Harrison, Kim. "ELA 2015-2016")

Marjane's parents sent her away because she had problems in school like she got kicked out a lot and It was just not that safe for her to stay and be there. I think it was the right decisions because she didn’t really get along with everyone and just in general did not do well in school. Throughout the book she got into fights most of the time during school and from the pictures she looked like she just wasn't enjoying her life.

I think that it was a good decision because when she moved in with her moms friend for 10 days. Once she was there for while she was sent away again to a boarding school where she didn't have many friends. She seemed like she was happy when she moved rather than living in Iran where the war was going on. She soon made friends but all of her friends did bad things like drugs and other stuff. She also became interested in drugs and became a drug dealer so later on I do not think it was such a good idea sending her alone rather than being kept there in Iran.
