On page 6 in Persepolis, it shows Marjane being a prophet (third panel). She says that she wants to become a prophet. If you look around her head you can see that it resembles the Sun. The Sun is an important element to the human race and Earth. Therefore it shows that the importance of a prophet and the importance of religion. Just like everyone needs the Sun, everyone needs religion.
Funny how there are adults in the panel that are bowing to a child. This is one panel that is against the motif, child/ women minority, that is presented throughout the book. Yet we also have to consider that this is just a child's imagination and that at that time, this thought was impossible to happen in reality.
