Throughout the book, Marji's parents have to make decisions about how much freedom to give her, and how much to allow her to participate in the activism they are involved in. They try to make decisions in Marji's best interests. Marji usually agrees with her parents. After Neda's death, Marji becomes even more rebellious. She hits the principal and gets expelled; and then she gets into trouble at her new school. Afraid for their daughter's safety, her parents decide to send her to stay with her mom's friend in Vienna.
