Final Reflection

After reading The Complete Persepolis i have been changed forever. THe book was amazing. It was such an amazing memoir about how just a few people can affect so many different peoples lifes. It was a memoir about a young girl named Marjane Satrapi’s coming of age. I really enjoyed the format of the memoir. I liked it being a graphic novel so i was able to clearly see the setting and the characters reactions to things. i liked being able to have visuals to go along with the text. Besides the book being a graphic novel it was also very well written. There were a lot of experience retold in the  and they were organized very well. Just liked i predicted in my initial response the memoir was also very detailed. I also liked how Marjane Satrapi spent time with her drawings in the graphic novel. Page 228 panel one is a good example of how she spent time on each panel. She made sure she spent time drawing every demonstrators face and showed the anger in their eyes. The reason I also liked the book was because I liked  Marjane Satrapi’s purpose behind why she wrote it. She wrote it to make sure people never forgot the Islamic Revolution. She also wanted people to not judge her country just because of what a couple extremists did. She wanted people to know that many people suffered and lost their lives due to those few horrible people. That’s why I loved the book. She had a great purpose behind writing it.
