Im reading The Complete Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. In this novel, a girl named Marji has a conflict. She wants to be a prophet but has trouble with it. A prophet is someone who claims to have been contacted by the supernatural or divine to speak for them. Every night she would have a big discussion with God. She tells people this and tells people that she wants to be a prophet. The problem is no one believes her and people laugh at her and think she's crazy. Her teacher went to her parents concerned about how Marji is saying she wants to be a prophet. Her parents then become puzzled on why she says this. When they ask her she lies and says she wants to be a doctor when she gets older. She then feels guilty towards God after lying saying she wanted to be a doctor and not a prophet. She tells God that she will be a prophet but no one must know. She is going through a conflict of wanting to be something but not being able to because people think shes crazy when she says that's what she wants to be.
