The first line that struck me was when she said, "Life is a right, not collateral or casual," it made me think of how now a days people will kidnap others and use them as bargaining chips in return for collateral such as money. Also of how some people in third world countries will pay with child labor some other form of human life. The other quote that struck me was when she said, "I will not lend my name nor my rhythm to your beat." It seems that this could be interpreted in several different ways but the way that made the most sense to me was that she will not become a puppet following all of your rules and doing everything that they commanded.
Some connections I found between Suheir's ideas and Marjane's were that they both fought against oppression whether figuratively or literally. Although I am not sure what Suheir was referring to when she said she would not do what they wanted but either way they both fought for what they wanted and what they believed in.
What struck me about Marjane was that no matter how much trouble she could have gotten in she always spoke her mind. Even when she did get in trouble such as getting kicked out of school she still spoke her mind. And Suheir decided not to do what they said and to live her own way.
