In "Persepolis" by Marjane Satrapi, the narrator compares the wait for her father to come home to "the same silence as before a storm" because:
The silence before a storm is broken by awful thunders and heavy rain. Similarly, the silence in her home as she, her mother, and her grandmother waited for her father to return could be broken by awful news.
- "Persepolis" is a graphic novel by Marjane Satrapi based on her life experiences as child in Iran during the revolution.
