Open Ended Question 1

Persepolis is not just an inspiring documentary of Marjane's life it describes the political, social, and economical state during the Islamic Revolution. Reading this autobiographical graphic novel allowed me to better visualize Marjane's story throughout each discovery she made in her culture and surrounding. To be honest I haven't heard much about the Islamic Revolution, so Marjane's perspective and detailed panels helped with a thorough understanding on my part. Persepolis I described Marjane's childhood til her teen years, and in her sequel I can infer that Persepolis II continues to describe the lives of everyone in a Post-Islamic-Revolution state. Her attitude would change to a more mature tone by experiencing the difficulties of the "real world" in an Iranian society. As a teenager and even as a child she just focuses on rebelling against the political regime by skipping school or by misbehaving in her classes altogether. Inferring in her maturity, the format would probably be as organized with her narratives explained through flash-points and framed narratives of her family friends.
