Part I: What happened in Persepolis?
Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi is about Marji's childhood growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. Marjane and all the other girls had to go to all-girls school and wear a veil. There are protests in Iran to overthrow the Shah. The Shah is a dictator who was very violent and cruel and spent the country's money on himself like it was his own. The Shah was put there by Great Britain because Britain wanted oil from Iran. Britain took down the Shah's father who was a good ruler.
Part II: What did you think and feel about Persepolis?
I do like the graphic novel. I think it is good and interesting and insightful. But don't like communism at all, and Marji is communist. I think the drawing are not very detailed, but that is okay, it is just the style. I like the drawings pretty good. I like what the story is about and I think it is interesting. I don't know if this graphic novel totally engrosses me though, like Night did.
Wearing the veil, Iran/Tehran, family, school, and Islam are things in Marjane's surroundings that affected Marjane's beliefs, thoughts, and moral values.
