PeRSePOLiS # 5

How is Persepolis organized and structured? What has Satrapi chosen to emphasize in her childhood? How is the passage of time presented? Describe Satrapi's drawings. How do the drawings add to the narrative of the story?

i WOULD SAY THAT PERSEPOLIS IS A VERY ORGANIZED TO BE A GRAPHIC NOVEL. iN THE GRAPHIC NOVEL MARJI IS THE NARRATOR. WHEN YOU READ THIS NOVEL AND YOU COME ACROSS THE LARGE PANELS THESE ARE A REPRESENATION OF A BIG EVENT OR SOMETHING THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT EVENT THAT IS ACCURING TO THE NARRATOR. THE WHOLE TIME SHE IS TELLING THE STORY SHE IS DESCRIBING AND TELLING US ABOUT HOW THE REVOLUTION IS CHANGING THING IN HER ENVIORNMENT AS THE DAYS MONTHS AND WEEKS GO BY IN HER LIFETIME. I NOTICED THAT SHE HAS SPEND HER TIME TALKING AND ASKING QUESTIONS TO MORE THAN ONE PERSON. EVERYTIME THERE IS A NEW DAY IN THE BOOK OR A NEW SETTING THERE IS A DIFFERENT PERSON BEING INTRODUCED. FOR EXAMPLE WHEN SHE HAD MET HER UNCLE ANOOSH. THEY SPEND THE WHOLE TIME TELLING STORIES OF HIS PAST AND HOW HE FELT ABOUT IT. ITS LIKE SHE WAS GIVING A LESSON WITHIN THE STORIES THAT SHE WAS TOLD. IN A WAY THESE STORIES GAVE HER A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE REVOLUTION AND SOME BAD TOO. THIS BOOK IS A VERY GOOD BOOK BUT THE ONLY THING THAT I WONDER IS WHY DID THEY DECIDE TO USE ONLY BLACK WHITE AND GRAY?? HOW COME THERE ARE NO COLOR. WELL I THOUGH ABOUT IT AND MAYBE ITS ONLY BLACK AND WHITE BECAUSE IT SETS BACK THEN WHEN THEY MAY NOT HAVE HAD COLORED TVS OR SOMETHING. SOME TIMES WHEN A STORY IS PRESENTED IT ONLY SEEMS RIGHT TO BE IN BLACK AND WHITE BECAUSE IT SETS AM OOD OF BEING SAD,MAD OR CONFUSED MAYBE! SHOOO IDK ITS MY OPINION!! THE DETAILS IN THE PICTURES ARE QUITE INTERESTING. EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE TO IMAGINE THE SOUND EFFECTS IN OUR HEADS SOME PICTURES SHOW GREAT DETAILS OF WHATS GOING ON.
