In Persepolis the grandmother said, "Be true to your culture" to me this means that she (persepolis) needs to follow the traditions of her culture. Meaning don't branch out and be different. Do as you're told, and follow the path that was made for you. But Persepolis didn't follow what her grandmother told her at first. She got into the wrong crowd and started making poor decisions. Such as getting into drugs. So she didn't necessarily listen to her grandmother.
Another protagonist would be Olive from "Little Miss Sunshine". She was true to herself more than anyone. She did what she really wanted which was a beauty pageant. Even though she didn't really fit in. She followed her heat and he desires even if someone else didn't believe in her or put her down. When her dad said she would get fat if she ate the ice cream, she still ate it because she wanted to and no one could stop her. Even though the rest of her family was there on her side supporting her, although that will ALWAYS help.
But overall most of the protagonists throughout the films we watched stayed pretty true to themselves. Yes they had their ups and downs but overall no one could stop them from what they really wanted to do whatever that may be. This should be a lesson to all though, to follow your dream because no one can stop you but yourself. Don't give up because you can achieve whatever you put your mind to.
