This Week i read Persepolis, i had heard about it before but never had a chance to read it so im glad i finally got too. we've been reading a lot of autobiographical comics in this class and i think it helps us relate a lot more. even though i grew up in America and we are not a war-zone i related to the girl in the book as a child and also as a girl and growing up. I really liked all the historical background the book gives and the different opinions and outcomes. its scary to think these things happened and theres a little disconnected because its a comic but i think its a good way to help convey to people that might not normally learn about this stuff. It makes me really want to read the second book to find out what happens which is not something i felt with the other comics we read like Maus, i felt more obligated to read both but i didnt really want to and i think that makes this a good book when someone actually want to keep reading not just because it was assigned to them.
I really enjoyed the art style, its probably not only my favorite thing ive read so far but my favorite thing i got to look at. The way the people were drawn and the contrast of dark and light lent itself well to the story. and they type font was very easy to read, a lot of times i have trouble reading fonts so im happy when something i actually like is easy for me to visually read. overall again i really enjoyed the story and that it was through a child's eyes and worked through her feeling of what the time was like, i really like historical things and her relationships with people added well to the story and made it real, because it was real. It was very interesting to see her grow up in the book and how things changed and how she changed. It was definitely interesting to read something about another country from the perspective of someone from that country, i think its important to read books like this from places you dont live and situations those people face.
