Persepolis

Again like Palestine, a history i have never followed or known much about, so again i found it interesting.

When i first started reading it, i had to start over and read the beginning again, because i was so confused about the whole profit aspect and Marji talking to god and believing she was a profit, i thought she was crazy... only once i read it again and further i realized it was just childhood ignorance and high self opinion.

Also again like Palestine this is another novel that depicts an area of the world that in America we are feed negative opinons about constantly and lacking the idea of they are people just like you and me... but that is how war works i suppose. I love how she shows Marji (herself as a child) being a kid having opinions making jokes going to parties and being into "punk" style so many things that are just like here in the states that so many people ignorantly assume is only here and could never happen in a place like that.

Her art work was very easy to see and understand, i have heard people say that" aw well the story it good but the drawing is mediocre", well they are welcome to their opinons but i like the drawing style in this novel you can easily follow it and i feel in a sense it makes you realize in the beginning anyways that you are following a young persons thoughts and feelings through this experience.

I enjoyed this novel and i plan to watch the movie soon enough. I have lent the novel to a friend as well who was raving about the movie but did not realize it was a book first.
