Summary
Persepolis is a comic by Marjane Satrapi. She tells a story of her childhood and how living in Iran affected her life. Hillary Chute analyzes the story Marji tells through he pictures and writing. Chute tries to clarify anything in Marji's story in her own words. Chute didn’t just analyze Marji’s writing but she also talked about how graphic narratives (she doesn’t use the word graphic novels) are focused on by the media but it’s always graphic narratives by men. She says that is not true. “Some of today’s most riveting feminist cultural production is in the form of accessible yet edgy graphic narratives.”
Reaction
I really didn’t understand what Hillary Chute was talking about before she started her analyzation of Marjane Satrapi’s comic. Marji’s comic was very good. The pictures with the words helped to portray what she saw and thought as a child. You could tell how affected she was with having to wear the veil and how much she wanted to be involved with her community. I mean, she thought she was going to be the last prophet.
Questions
1. What happened to Marji's "rule" book?
2. What she scared for her parents, especially for her mom, when they would protest?
3. Why did Hillary Chute pick this comic to write about?
