Persepolis

I really enjoyed getting the chance to be introduced to graphic novels. This graphic novel was great because it gave a first hand account to the Iranian revolution. I really felt connected to Marjane and the movement itself after reading and watching it. My roommate is actually Iranian so it was good to have him as a reference while reading it. For people to band to together and at least attempt to overcome evil is always good to hear about. Makes me feel like no matter what people can always rely on each other. Since the movie was basically the comic book I felt it did a good job leaving a lot of the story to the readers imagination. The plain pictures made the reader/viewer really dive into the story and make it their own. They did leave out certain parts and cut some corners, but nothing that made me feel like it should be in there. Overall, I really enjoyed the "Persepolis experience".
