What led to Marjane's grandmother yelling at her was that Marjane had willing turned one of her fellow citizens into the guardians of the revolution. When she returned home she told her grandmother what had happened and laughed about it. This got her grandmother very upset “Have you forgotten who your grandfather was? He spent a third of his life in prison for having defended some innocents! And your uncle Anoosh? Have you forgotten him too???! He gave his life for his ideas! What have I taught you! What marjane did upset her grandmother because of how many people in their family and that they knew died for previous causes and the thought of Marjane making up a lie so she wouldn’t be arrested up set her and showed her how selfish she was. Marjane's grandmother had every right to act the way she did with Marjane.
