Excerpt from "Persepolis" by Marjane Satrapi

     This nonfiction comic was very interesting. I have no prior knowledge of the topic, and no real clue of who this woman writing the story is, but I have a feeling she became somewhat influential in her country's future. But in this comic, I liked the style, and how straight forward she was about everything. She did an excellent job of writing just as a child would feel, especially at the beginning when she was talking about the veils, and when she became awe struck when finding out her grandfather was a prince. The illustrations correlated very well with the writing style, and though the topic is very serious, since Satrapi wrote the majority of the comic from a child's perspective, the topic is given a more lighthearted appearance. I am very excited to watch the movie after reading this piece.
