Blog 15: Marjane Satrapi-Persepolis
This graphic novel was a great read. It held my interest the whole time. At first in opening the novel I thought great, another comic book. But it definitely is not a comic book. It is easy to follow and the pictures give even more image to the story. I learned a lot about the history of Iran. Marjane was a very brave girl and I assume that she is a very brave woman now. I think it was a great idea for her to put her story in a graphic novel.

Hi, Mary. I agree. I knew some facts about the revolution in Iran, but somehow, seeing images and having access to the feelings of people going through it makes the facts stick better in my head! :) Nancy
