Youth Sized Shoes

If I was an Iranian youth growing up in post-revolution Iran, I honestly am not sure how I would feel or respond. You live under the rule of a Shah for part of your life so you are used to that however when you start to hear more complainants about the Shah than you will start to feel like a revolution is needed. What I would be unable to understand though is that when someone promises a better life for Iran and you put him into power then later find out life is worse than before it was before with a Shah, why there would not be another revolution. I would keep wondering why everyone is putting up with stricter laws and fewer rights for women. If life is worse off then it was when there was a Shah running Iran, I guess I would keep wondering if the revolution was worth all the fighting and mayhem that went with it. When it seems like nobody is happy but just the mere thought of saying something about it could get you thrown in jail I would be scared to do anything. While I may not like anything that I would have to do I would definitely follow the law just because I would not want anyone getting hurt because I was trying to stand up for my beliefs. I think I would try to push the limits though and be like Gina in the novel Children of Jihad and wear elaborate makeup and wear my veil further behind then was intend when the law was created that all women must veil. So while I would be scared and wondering if the whole fight was worth it, I would follow the rules but at the same time push them as far as I could.
