“Freedom had a price.”

I think that this is something that is true for us all when we truly think about it. Although, living in America, many of us don’t feel it on a daily basis, there are also many of us who do. The families of those who serve in the U.S. Military feel it everyday that their loved ones are over sea. The fear that they may never return is the price that they pay and for those in the military, they sometimes pay with their life, all for the sake of keeping our country and their loved ones safe from harm. In “Persepolis”, Marji feels the effects of war while living there & she has lost many family members to the war. She also lives in a place where freedom is not a right one is just handed the way we living in America have it. Instead, it is a constant struggle to maintain any sort of freedom. Wars are fought over freedom. They come in different forms whether is be religious freedom, or the freedom of one’s country as a whole, freedom from dictators, it’s always about freedom at the end of the day. Freedom is far from free, even when thought about on a very small scale, freedom comes with responsibilities. Many of us are now turning 18, the age the law considers children turning into an adult. We are legally responsible for our actions and are accountable for anything that we do. Although we gain the freedom that comes with becoming an adult, we also have to pay the price of now being responsible for our actions.
