Why do you think Satrapi wrote this book? What is she saying about life? Think about chapter titles and minor characters. Start with a motif (religion, education, growing up, women, politics, fear, freedom, etc.) and build a statement about that word. Everyone should write a different possible theme statement before choosing your favorite (vote with the star rating) to add to the Literary Review paper.

How are things going outside of Persepolis? You may gossip (kindly) about any school news, ask questions about life, or recommend a great book, video, or other form of entertaiment.

Why is there more support for veils now rather than before?

# data[].attributes.body
In pages 10 and 12, Satrapi mentions many revolutionaries such as Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Trotsky, Fatemeh Rezai, Hossein Fatemi, and Hamid Ashraf. She includes these revolutionaries because she wants the reader to know that she admires revolutionaries

From what Anoosh told us, we can infer that he was a courageous, bold, and strong person. Satrapi chooses to include Anoosh's journey because it shows that Anoosh endured a lot in order to fight for what he believed in.

# data[].attributes.body
Satrapi chooses to include these panels because they show how she feels towards god and her faith. She is mad at god in these panels and she pushes him away from her life. This can symbolize her loosing her faith as the war starts to grow stronger and stronger

# data[].attributes.body
Satrapi wrote this book to show us that we can fight against a power that uses fear in order to gain control by fighting instead it instead of pushed by it. By standing up and protesting people can make a change, but if everyone is to scared to fight or to oppose what is being implemented into their lives, they will never be able to change their situation.

Kim Wilde (page 126, chapter name)- Kim Wilde was an English pop singer who was real big in the 1908's.

on page 59 and 60 Anoosh speaks on his wife, and how his relationship with his wife was worse than torture. We can infer that Anoosh was in an emotionally abusive relationship and is a somewhat damaged person.

The characters are heavily shadowed and surrounded by dark. This represents the reality bomb that’s been dropped into Satrapi’s life and how harrowing it was for her as a young child.

# data[].attributes.body
I think she wrote this book as somewhat of a therapy. it shows remembrance of the revolution as a whole, but it feels as if there is a focus on her growing up and her loss of childhood and innocence that came with the war. Satrapi illustrates panels that show how harrowing the experience was, and though memoirs do center around the people who write them it feels as if we dig the slightest bit deeper into her psyche.

Peace between Iran and Iraq/Saudi Arabia

Peace between Iran and Iraq/Saudi Arabia 

# data[].attributes.body
Why did the Iranian government not want peace when Iraq was willing to propose a settlement? It seemed like Iran had suffered enough damage from Iraq already with the restrictions and the bombings, so it wouldn’t make sense for them to want to keep fighting.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 31, panel 2, it mentions the word martyr. A martyr is a person who is killed for their beliefs. This is important because there were many people killed for their beliefs during the revolution, when the story takes place.

In the chapter “The Key,” it can be inferred that the children at Marjane’s school don’t care about the importance of the war going on around them. Even though they’re supposed to be doing activities to help the soldiers in war, they joke around and they don’t do their work.

# data[].attributes.body
In the first panel, there is no dialogue. This creates a sense of urgency to contact their loved ones after the bombing. In the second panel, residents of the building are shown calling their friends and family. This dialogue, as well as their facial expressions, gives each character a storyline of their own. The framing of the second panel also gives it more depth.

# data[].attributes.body
Though it's not something necessarily you can research, but why did Marjane try to not develop hate for what was going on, why did she try to stay positive?

# data[].attributes.body
With the revolution came a lot of suffering. Satrapi, as well as every other character in the book, endured a lot of loss, whether it was people, objects, or concepts such as innocence or childhood.  This made Satrapi the character she became, and shaped the way she viewed the world.

On the PDF version, Imperialism was mentioned on pg 15 panel two. Imperialism is a policy of extending a country's power and influence through diplomacy or military force. This is important for the reader to know because of the country's invasion from the Arabs which resulted in modern imperialism

Throughout the book, Anoosh tells Marjane about everything he's done to better the country and help. This shows he's patriotic and fought for what he believed in

# data[].attributes.body
Throughout the novel, everyone suffered loss, pain, fear and many other emotions. But for the majority of the book, Marjane keeps her head up and tries to remain one with God and do the right things though at the end she starts throwing that all out the window. But other family members and other characters remain calm and try to make the best of what they could

Marjane often uses humor to cope with difficult situations, but would this be the best course of action? Why did she try to make humor out of serious situations throughout the book? - Mikayla

# data[].attributes.body
Throughout the book Marjane speaks about the people around her’s resistance. Her mother’s protesting, classmates refusing the veil, her family members resisting the government given the consequences. Marjane herself even is brave, she told her teacher off, yelled at her dad, wouldn’t wear her veil unless her mom made her, went out in the wrong clothes, dealt with the death of her uncle.

# data[].attributes.body
I like how the author took the murder of a family friend and then put in the picture of a character she really trusted saying “everything will be alright”, it shows more about the character and also adds contrast.

He was a strong and brave man who always fought for what he believed. The way he treated Marjane also spoke to how good of a person he was. He was patient and kind.

# data[].attributes.body
Why did Marjane stay brave the whole time? She never seemed scared, and she always acted as if these were normal incidents.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the way Marjane identified herself with her religion, it made her feel safe and the way she drew this gives the reader the same kind of sensibility she got from it. (Padlet won't let me add the image, PDF pg 12)

On page 31, Satrapi mentions the word "widow'. A widow is a women who looses her spouse by death but has not remarried. This is important for the reader to know because it shows importance on how other people's lives mattered during the invasion, and the women who lost her husband during the war is like everyone else; grieving. - Mikayla

Anoosh was a fighter and a strong man who always helped out for the better of the good. He always treated Marjane like she was his own daughter, and he was kind to everyone. - Mikayla

On page 136, third row, first panel), Satrapi includes a graphic of her and her family looking worried. This exaggerated her point on how much danger her family was in and by using the simile "the three minutes seemed like three days", it recognized the fear that Marjane was enduring during that time. (Padlet wouldn't allow me to add the picture of the panel). - Mikayla

# data[].attributes.body
Throughout the book, Marjane grows into a mature girl, overcoming numerous things that stood in her way along the way. Marjane stays positive, and as she enters her teen years, she does get into trouble at school and starts to smoke cigarettes, but she is more exposed to the world around her, which is what the novel is portraying throughout the situations; Marjane just wasn't exposed to everything of the world when she was younger. - Mikayla
