Why did Marjane's parents decide to send her to Europe? Do you think this was the right decision? Why or why not?

Marjane's parents sent her to stay with a family friend in Europe because she is a very opinionated young women. If she was not sent to another place she might be caught in the wrong place at the wrong time and be injured or even killed. I think if her parents had found out about her being brought to the committee of nuns on pages 133 and 134 she would have been sent away even sooner. Her mom mentioned to her that her rebellion could lead to her imprisonment or murder and that really upset her mom. Marjane has a very interesting view on who a hero is and since she had thought of her uncle as a hero, her parents may have been seeing her actions and thought she was going down the same path as him. Going to Europe was the safest place for Marjane at the time even though she didn't get to stay with the family she was expecting because she ended up with Julie who she was very happy and comfortable staying with. For Marjane getting out of Iran was a way to avoid a very cruel death for fighting for what she believes in.
