persepolis vocab

The author’s name is Marjane who wrote a graphic novel about her younger life in Iran. Every detail about the art is very important when the person cry, happy, or even mad. The art and the dialogs have to be read and be seen. With the history have gone by in Iran and Iraq, Persepolis can tell the histories.

The history in Persepolis is a true story about Iran and Iraq war. With Marji knowing all the history and the people that have done great things Marji pretend and tell all about the famous people in Iran. Marji was living in a the time of war so she experiences everything. The war started in 1979 when Iraq bombed Iran. Iran had many Laws, but many people (mainly kids) would not follow the rules. Like Marji, the average life for her was difficult, especially when she wants to have normal life in America. Not wearing veil in Iran was a kind of symbol for being salacious. The women that had decadent by taste, wore veils. Many people in Iran were clandestine at their home so people would not be killed. With the laws and the war going on in 1979 many people was afraid to even step outside. The fashion of youth within Marji her outside might have to follow the rule of the law. She could be her true self , but outside she had to wear the veils or else she could be a martyr.

In Persepolis, Marji was a little girl that has strong beliefs and wants a secular government, but is held back by Iran’s rules. Marji is veritable to her parents, so her parents are same to her. Marji hated when her country was at war, she knew that Iran did not start the war but she still see death, friends gone to war, and love life. Also she disliked it when the law changed to the girls wearing veils, she hated to wear it and that gether in trouble. Marji she respected herself sometimes, but when things got worse she stopped believeing in god.

I think what happened to Marji when she moved to Vienna was that she was happy because in Vienna did not have war and people does not have to wear veil and be what they want. The sad part about when she left to Vienna she turned around and saw her mother faint and her father cry. I felt sorry because she knew she has to go because her parent wanted a better life for her . Her parents are not proletariat since the war started and no one are either. So Vienna was the cheapest thing without a visa to go to another country.

In persepolis was a really great books. I never knew histories can be told in graphic novel, I thought all graphic novel all involved with japan comic books. In all the concept this book was great, I can't wait to read number two. With the history told in Marjane's eyes being told in arts the incredible history is told.
