The graphic novel Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi is one of my favorite things we have read in class so far. I love reading it because it's so much different from anything I have ever read in school. I like Satrapi's style because she tells the story very well but doesn't make it as heavy as she possibly could. She uses a lot of humor and the pictures are fun to look at and portray the frame extremely well. I like that it's easy to read the story and you can cover a lot of it in a short period of time.
It's surprised me how much I've enjoyed reading this novel. Because she is Muslim I didn't think that I could ever relate to her as much as I've realized I can. Although my lifestyle differs from hers, the things we go through and the emotions we feel seem to be extremely similar. This novel has made me have a new respect for the Islamic culture.
