Question

Excerpt from Does My Head Look Big in This?:

I’m terrified. But at the same time I feel like my passion and conviction in Islam are bursting inside me and I want to prove to myself that I’m strong enough to wear a badge of my faith. I believe it will make me feel so close to God. Because it’s pretty hard to walk around with people staring at your "towel-head” and not feel kind of pleased with yourself if you manage to get through the stares and comments with your head held high. That’s when this warm feeling buzzes through you and you smile to yourself, knowing God’s watching you, knowing that He knows you’re trying to be strong and please Him.

Excerpt from Persepolis:

5 panels from the graphic novel Persepolis. Marjane deep down thinks she is very religious. She was born into religion, and when she was 6, she thought she was the last prophet. The last two panels show her as the last prophet meeting the previous prophets. The other prophets looked surprised that she is a woman.

GPT-4o mini · Answer

The narrators’ perspectives are similar in the following ways:

Both narrators possess pride in their faith. - Both characters express a strong sense of pride in their religious identities, finding strength and conviction in their beliefs.
Both narrators have a deep faith in God. - Each narrator demonstrates a profound sense of faith, feeling a connection to God and a desire to express their beliefs.
Both narrators are uncertain about wearing a religious head covering. - While the first narrator explicitly mentions feeling terrified about wearing the hijab, the second narrator’s reflections also indicate a struggle with her identity and the perception of women in religion.

The option that states "Both narrators think that they are prophets" is not accurate for the first narrator, and the option about wanting to be involved in politics is not explicitly indicated in the excerpts.
