    They both experience alienation in school.

    They are both unsure about being told what to wear.

    Explanation:

    Both Does My Head Look Big in This? and Persepolis explore worlds of two young girls that are influenced by their religion - Islam and how people around perceive them.

    Main character from Does My Head Look Big in This? is Amal who is living in Australia. She is very religious, but she does not feel comfortable wearing hijab outside her little Muslim community. Though she feels closely connected to God while wearing it, so she decides to wear it to school. She knew that there is tough time ahead of her as she now has to be accepted from all the people who get to see her and she knew that she would differ from all other girls in school and that she would be completely open for judging by anyone.

    In Persepolis we have Marjane who is living in Iran in the 1980's. Muslim community is strong there. Boys and girls go to separate schools and girls are forced to wear hijab. Her parents are social activists, kinda liberals, fighters for rights, so she has a really strong attitude against these forms of restrictions about woman role in society. So the final restriction was wearing a veil to the public, being fully covered in order not to attract any attention from men.

    So for both girls, we can say that they were unsure about being told what to wear and they both experienced alienation at school. Though their situations differ as Amal free willingly wanted to wear hijab and Marjane was forced to.
