Initial Impressions

The book I selected for the independent memoir reading is The Complete Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. My expectation of this text I have select is to learn about a young girl's life growing up during Revolutionary Iran in graphic novel format. I am expecting a very detail and entertaining book as well as educational. I am expecting a well detailed memoir because they created a major motion picture based on the book. In order for the book to become a movie it must had a lot of detail that way the director of the movie is able to visual scenes and make the movie great. I feel detail in a book is crucial in order to make a book a movie. The movie won in the 2007 Cannes Film Festival Jury Prize.  I do not know much about the author except that she has written other graphic novels as well. I read in her biography that she enjoys writing graphic novels and she always has since she was a child. I selected this book because I enjoy reading books in the format of a graphic novel. I like having images go along with the words I am reading. I feel more connected to the book when there are images because I am able to clearly see what is happening. I choose the topic of the novel because it was about Revolutionary Iran and I have always been interested in learning more about it this topic. I want a book that will teach me about Revoluntionary Iran but at the same time entertain me and I feel like this is the right book.
