Uneducated about the Islamic revolution in 1980, I saw this book and knew I had to read it. Once the book arrived, I was immediately surprised by the book and the fact that it was a graphic novel. However, this really excited me because I had always loved reading graphic novels when I was younger. The book had one of the freshest perspectives on writing that I had read in a while. This has been one of the most interesting Memoirs I have ever read. The Memoir is so powerful because of its ability to telling stories through not just words but also pictures, and how it was able to express certain emotions, in ways ordinary books could not. For example, Satrapi uses the Graphic novel sense of the book to express the emotion that you could not see or empathize with through just reading text. Whether Satrapi decides to express happiness or sadness, Through the novel, she expresses the way she felt personally and also gives you a visual, to help put yourself into her shoes. She also gives the reader new insight into the Islamic Revolution and people who lived in Iran. Many people are quick to judge people, and that comes especially true when talking about people during the Islamic Revolution. She makes the reader understand that the people who had to first-hand witness the Islamic Revolution, are no different than ordinary people, just like the reader and even helps you sympathize with the character. Satrapi does a great job at incorporating western fashion, to help show the reader visually that people from who lived in Iran during the Islamic Revolution are just like any ordinary person. This book blew me away, and I look forward to reading the second part of <a href="https://goodfileshare.com/persepolis-pdf/" rel="nofollow">Satrapi’s Persepolis</a>.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01768430375153553506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4051826042602269061.post-70558545590621217212019-01-20T12:09:16.594-08:002019-01-20T12:09:16.594-08:00It’s been a while since I’ve read them, but I reme...It’s been a while since I’ve read them, but I remember liking the 2nd one better than the first. It definitely presents events from a perspective different than our own. I can’t say I had heard of Mossadegh before reading this book, but I’d like to learn more about him. The books were made into an animated movie, which I thought was quite good. You may be able to find it at the Kern County library.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16098063988095610502noreply@blogger.com
