Blog 1 Response- Persepolis

3. She shows in the graphic novel that there is a variety of people and beliefs in Iran. Not everyone follows and agrees with fundamentalism, fanaticism, and terrorism. She clearly states in the book that people within Iran were fighting for there own beliefs and that caused some backstabbing and war within Iran. Marji was trapped between decisions. She did not know what she believed in at first she was confused until otheres taught her about different types of polotics and or religions.

4. Persepolis is organized in panels. There are pictures, words, thoughts, and people speaking to show what is happening in the story. The graphic novel is to give the reader a visual aspect on whats going on in the book. She speaks on many topics to show what the history of Iran. Her drawings aren't there greatest drawings. They are very simple. There is no color its black and white. The drawings basically show whats going on in the story.

5.The writers voice is appealing because its the way the story is written. If the story is entertaining and has the reader drawn in then Im sure the writers voice is very appealing. Marji's character is very bold. She has strong opinions on what is going on in her country Iran. She believes she is the last prophet and she speaks strongly about what she believes in. I like the fact that she is open-minded and that she is willing to hear others story but at the same time she will need proof for her opinion on anything to change. The least is that if something goes wrong that she does not like she turns the other way and pouts. 

2. Yes it is. I thinking written as a memoir it gives more meaning to it. It gives more information and facts on what is and happened in Iran. If fictionalized most people would not get the same belief out of it as they do when it is written as a memoir. Its almost like your reading the writers first hand experince. The drawbacks are that you really don't get the make believe or the fantasy of the book but the benefits is that it seems more real and powerful.
