Cherrie Moraga & Satrapi

Satrapi had a healthy relationship with her parents as well as her grandma. Satrapi's parents wanted the best for her and they were very open to her as far as war goes. Satrapi wasn't lesbian, so she didn't go through the troubles of being accepted as a lesbian like Moraga, but Satrapi definetly suffered similar to what Moraga did, not knowing where or who to go for comfort. Moraga wanted to pretend that she was a heterosexual but when she found herself in bed with a man, she found herself longing for the touch of a woman. Satrapi's feeling of rejection came from not knowing what culture to say she was from. She didn't want to be looked down on and stereotyped against or questioned about her culture to much.
