This week we mainly focused on the graphic novel "The Complete Persepolis", by Marjane Satrapi. I learned in class that a graphic novel is a novel length comic book. Comic's include words or writing , pictures, and it also is a narrative, which is a story. This type or graphic novel that we are reading is an Art Comic, which shows the world in the perspective of the author. An activity we did for the first section of pages was describe our perception of Iran and if it was the same as in the graphic novel. Before reading any of this novel I thought that Iran was full of desert and sand, and i also thought that people walked everywhere becasue there was no other way of transportation. After reading the first 60 pages I realized that my perception of Iran was way different. In the graphic novel Iran is described as a modern place. The people there have nice houses and they also have cars too. My perception of Iran was very different than what was described in the novel. The next day of class we chose a frame a described how the main character was an out cast. I chose the seventh frame on page 125. The girl in this picture has a differnet design on her vail than all of the other women in the frame. Also her face is way more defined than the other people in the frame. She has big sad eyes and her eyebrows are depressing as well. Lastly I noticed that she was walking all by herself. Everyone else is in a group together and she all by herself. Jaime Wallace, Post #10
