How Does Mehri Affect Marji

A character that Marji has a strong relationship with and that helped build her character was her maid Mehri. Mehri had an influence on Marji because she raised Marji since she was 10, hHelped her demonstrate which was Marji's first exposure to the revolution that brought out more later in the book and exposed her to love.

Merhi shaped Marji by raising her i believe merhi couldn't have helped raise a child without leaving at least the slightest impression on her character. Merhi was her caregiver, play mate and friend for example in the text Marji explains “She was about 10 when i was born..she took care of me” “she played with me and always finished my food she also told me stories about jackals that scared me” a child can not be raised or cared for by another person without being influenced or imprinted as a person.
Mehri going with her to her first demonstrations sticks, this helped bring out the rebellious side of marji later in the book. “We had demonstrated on the very say we shouldn't have: “black friday” that day there was so many killed in of the neighborhoods that a rumor spread that israeli soldiers were responsible for the slaughter” it was her first time face to face with danger.

The biggest way Mehri did was expose Marji to love, in the book Mehri fell in love with a boy in a different social class and kept it a secret soon her secret was let out and the boy no longer wanted her causing her heart break, Mehri was loved by Marji, Marji saw mheri as family even though everyone else seen her as the maid, in the text Marji says “When i went to her room she was crying we were not in the same social class but at least we were in the same bed” i believe Mehri and Marji had unconditional love as a family though the social classes weren't the
