how has Marjane changed in cigarette chapter compared to previous chapters?( Cigarette)

Marjane is getting used to the war. She was not as possessed with fear as in previous chapters. She adapted to the flow of violence that is a product of war. She is also growing up and she has friends that are older than her. Marjane also understands government "spin" and propaganda better than she ever did as a child. She understands that the regime needs a perpetual war to keep control of the country. This very Orwellian idea is still a reality today.
