Persepolis
By Nick

At first I thought this “Graphic Novel” was going to be just another dumb book that Mathew was going to make us read and take tests about, but I learned to actually like it a lot. I believe that having pictures in your reading helps put the image in your head, from reading this book I feel like I really know the author well. You may think that even a graphic novel is childish because it has pictures, your wrong. It actually taught me a ton about Iran and the middle eastern countries and the hard times that Marji had to go through as a little kid. Another thing about graphic novels is that you have to be an artist, not just a writer. I believe that when the author draws pictures about what he or she is writing about it helps them get into the writing a lot more. I know when I am writing and I draw pictures with what I am writing, it helps me remember and think of stuff that I want to write about.

What I did not really like about this Graphic Novel is that it focused a little to much on the wars in Iran and those countries, I understand why she did focus on this topic a lot, because it was a big part of her life. But for me It was just confusing I didn’t like having to read all the names and stuff that was going on.
