Still I Rise<\/span><\/h1>\n

BY <\/span>MAYA ANGELOU<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

You may write me down in history<\/span><\/p>\n

With your bitter, twisted lies,<\/span><\/p>\n

You may trod me in the very dirt<\/span><\/p>\n

But still, like dust, I’ll rise.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Does my sassiness upset you?<\/span><\/p>\n

Why are you beset with gloom?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2019Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells<\/span><\/p>\n

Pumping in my living room.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Just like moons and like suns,<\/span><\/p>\n

With the certainty of tides,<\/span><\/p>\n

Just like hopes springing high,<\/span><\/p>\n

Still I’ll rise.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Did you want to see me broken?<\/span><\/p>\n

Bowed head and lowered eyes?<\/span><\/p>\n

Shoulders falling down like teardrops,<\/span><\/p>\n

Weakened by my soulful cries?<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Does my haughtiness offend you?<\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t you take it awful hard<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2019Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines<\/span><\/p>\n

Diggin\u2019 in my own backyard.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

You may shoot me with your words,<\/span><\/p>\n

You may cut me with your eyes,<\/span><\/p>\n

You may kill me with your hatefulness,<\/span><\/p>\n

But still, like air, I\u2019ll rise.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Does my sexiness upset you?<\/span><\/p>\n

Does it come as a surprise<\/span><\/p>\n

That I dance like I’ve got diamonds<\/span><\/p>\n

At the meeting of my thighs?<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Out of the huts of history\u2019s shame<\/span><\/p>\n

I rise<\/span><\/p>\n

Up from a past that\u2019s rooted in pain<\/span><\/p>\n

I rise<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,<\/span><\/p>\n

Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear<\/span><\/p>\n

I rise<\/span><\/p>\n

Into a daybreak that\u2019s wondrously clear<\/span><\/p>\n

I rise<\/span><\/p>\n

Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,<\/span><\/p>\n

I am the dream and the hope of the slave.<\/span><\/p>\n

I rise<\/span><\/p>\n

I rise<\/span><\/p>\n

I rise.<\/span><\/p>\n

Persepolis: A Condensed Summary<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Persepolis is a graphic memoir by Marjane Satrapi that chronicles her childhood and early adulthood in Iran during and after the Islamic Revolution. The story begins in the late 1970s when Marjane is a young girl living in a progressive family. As the revolution unfolds, Iran transitions from a Western-backed monarchy to an Islamic republic, leading to significant political and social upheaval.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Marjane experiences the impact of war, oppression, and the loss of personal freedoms. She witnesses the effects of the regime\u2019s strictures, including the imposition of the veil on women and the suppression of dissent. Her family\u2019s involvement in political activism shapes her understanding of justice and identity.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

As a teenager, Marjane is sent to Europe for her safety, where she struggles with cultural dislocation and the challenges of adolescence. She grapples with her Iranian identity while navigating life in a foreign land, facing issues of racism and isolation.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

The memoir concludes with Marjane\u2019s return to Iran, where she continues to confront the complexities of her identity amid ongoing societal restrictions. Ultimately, Persepolis is a poignant exploration of resilience, personal growth, and the struggle for freedom in the face of adversity.<\/span><\/p>\n
