Her parents love her and are always looking in her best interests. Satarapi's family is able to communicate with one another and appear to have strong emotional bonds. However Moraga's family seem more emotionally distant of one another. Moraga is expected to tend to her father's needs and feels a sense of biterness towards him because of it. moraga's family isn't so much a unit like satarapi's is. moraga is more like a servant to her father and brother than a family member. both do experience some form of discrimination. under a supressive governemt, Satarapi does experience ill treatment, but she still had the suport of her family. Satarapi is little more rebelious than moraga. satarapi is less afraid of acting out because she knows that her family has her back. but moraga is a lesbian. this is a secret she alone is burdened with. if people were to find out, not only would she face the ridicule of society, she would also face the possibility, her family may not accept her.
