The word "Martyr" is a fairly important word in the book because the whole story has to do with martyrs, as various scenes depict the deaths of martyrs and give us a simple understanding of what they are, so we can comprehend more on the setting that is taking place in Satrapi's time. Martyr isn't only a word that helps us with an understanding of the setting but also shows us true events (Marjane's story is a true story) in which the so called "Martyrs," died. For an example, Joan of Arc was a martyr because she died for the freedom and independence of the French (Joan of Arc was burned at a stake for witchery by the English).
I chose the word because it can relate to most of the chapters in the book just like "The Islamic Revolution." However, the word isn't as fairly as important since it doesn't give us a brief explanation of what the book is about, since the book isn't about martyrs; its about the Islamic Revolution that is told in a 1st person view by a person that has experienced it herself, Marjane.
