Marjane Satrapi's graphic novel Persepolis is by far my favorite thing we've read in class, and not just because it is in comic book style. I really enjoy Satrapi's writing style and how she tells the story. And the pictures just add to the story. Its very interesting watching the girl as time progresses in the book from revolts to the war and so on. In the beginning she does not know much and just takes in what she is told by others. Then we see her progressively begin to form her own ideas on the topics of what is happening in her country. How aware she is of everything that is going on makes me reflect on how I didn't know much of anything that was going on in my country when I was younger. I still don't to this day. I don't even remember what I was doing on the day of 9/11 which is a very catastrophic event in our history. so to see how much she knew of what was going on really impacted me, and made the book more interesting.
