The Pursuit of Justice

Hooray! The revolution is complete! The country rejoices, but somehow, not my parents. They are always suspicious of the new leaders, claiming their victory the result of the people's ignorance. How can they say that when it is the very thing they were fighting for? Not only that, but they want to stop the active pursuit of justice - when my friends and I learned Ramin's father was a member of the Savak, we needed him to pay for the misdeeds of his family. We were going to use American brass muscles and beat him like Bruce lee would, until my mother foiled our righteous plans. She said something about it not being Ramin's fault only his father's which I kind of get, but it makes me question her motives and dedication to the revolution. On the bright side, uncle Anoosh, a real life hero of the revolution, has come to stay with us! He was in prison for fighting against the Shah after escaping to Russia and learning of Marx and Lenin, all the revolutionaries against capitalist elites like the Shah. He knew so much, and love his stories. My parents are scared he's a bad influence on me, another example of their own ignorance. They can't even respect a hero in their midst, not to mention a member of their own family. They have just been so frustrating.
