Question

Read the excerpts from Does My Head Look Big in This? and Persepolis. Excerpt from Does My Head Look Big in This?: At Hidaya the hijab was part of the uniform. But I used to take it off as soon as I stepped outside the school gates because man oh man do you need guts to get on public transportation with it on. At the end of the school day the trains would be absolutely packed with schoolkids. I could keep wearing it if I hopped on with a group of Hidaya students because I wouldn't feel so exposed. But the problem was that I had to change trains to get home and there was no way I had the courage to go the distance alone with it on.

"Does My Head Look Big in This?" is a book written by Australian author Randa Abdel-Fattah that was first published in August, 2005. It tells the story of a teen girl who decides to wear the hijab full time, and the consequences of making that decision. "Persepolis" is a graphic novel written by Iranian author Marjane Satrapi that was first published in June, 2007. It tells the story of Satrapi and how she grew up from being a child to a rebellious teenager while being Muslim.

The excerpt shows how both stories are linked in how they represent the attitude of young girls toward being different. It can scary and isolated to be the only one on the bus wearing a hijab, and how that single fact was so relevant to the narrator, that she had to remember to take it off before getting on the bus.
