Sorry, totally lost on these post numbers. This weeks (week of 4/4-4/8) post is about Persepolis . A book I have read and admired for years. This book explains the story of a young girl growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. I love this book. I am pretty sure I chose this class based on that book. I had read it previous and had an English discussion about it back then. Its kind of ironic that the points we bring up are the same point that's had been brought up in my English class. The books style, which is to me why the book is a huge hit with people, is comic book style. Its form is serious yet in a image heavy book. Its nothing like Superman comics I have or the Manga stories of love and romance. It is a tale of a life, during a hard time. Spoken from her own experience almost. Its like an nonficiton novel, told through a kids perspective, so some one the truth is twisted into a plot of relations, power, and oppression. Its funny, cause reading the story you don't think one would take it seriously, like its not the first thing that popped into my head when I grabbed the book for the first time. Yet reading the story, as some parts seem ridiculous, its tale is scary. The fact the little kids played shot the other people in as if it was like playing tag. When you read the story, there is a dry humor no one except those who lived it understand, yet it comes off as slightly disturbing because we would never want to see kids that game outside!
