This week we were watching The Complete Persepolis movie, I was excited to begin because I did enjoy the book and I thought that the movie would add an extra element. While watching I noticed that the movie seemed much more comical than I read the book or that I thought it would have been. Marjane is a young girl who really does not understand everything and her parents don't seem like they want to put up with her, Marji speaks her mind and her being naive makes the mood funny. The music is the movie also added something that I didn't get in the book, it really made serious parts more serious and sad parts very sad. I felt sad watching the part when her uncle was executed and I think it was because the background music.

Overall, the movie was not exactly what I expected but I did like it. I think that it left out a lot of the book which is unexpected considering each part of the book seemed to add an element to the overall feeling. I did enjoy both reading and watching the movie and think that you should continue reading this and watching!
