This technique demonstrates the essential question about beliefs as she is questioning her belief in God because Anoosh has been executed. She wonders where God was in all of this turmoil; thus, she is shouting at him to get out of her life. She is conflicted about her beliefs and the death is influencing her conflict with God.
Graphic Novel Elements: In this picture, the Speech Bubble shape is being used to show the extent of Marjane's anger as she is shouting at God. Her dialogue has an angry tone, and having the speech bubble be jagged emphasizes her shouting tone. Her trust has turned to anger, and this is conveyed in the jagged, shouting shape of the Speech Bubble.

The technique of facial expressions demonstrates the essential question through her adult view of the revolution. The facial expressions of boredom and sadness mixed with the jumbled nature of the people on the bike show how she sees the revolution as an adult. One that would bring her country backwards towards religious oppression and sexist laws.
Graphic Novel Elements
The graphic element of Faces is very present in the slide with most of the people on the “wheels of revolution” show sadness and indifference hinting at how this will affect the post revolution. The post revolution was dictated by not enough people fighting back but giving up or simply not caring enough to fight the new wave of oppression.]]> 2017-12-13 20:11:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_lewis/vexojfjf487c/wish/215973139 https://padlet.com/lisa_lewis/vexojfjf487c/wish/215973390 2017-12-13 20:12:12 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_lewis/vexojfjf487c/wish/215973390 Alex Blomquist: Graphic Weight https://padlet.com/lisa_lewis/vexojfjf487c/wish/215978852 Essential Question: Beliefs
The use of graphic weight is used in relation to Marji’s loss of faith in god by the visual weight and contrast of space. She uses the drawing mixed with her floating to show her lack of anchor in the world.
Graphic Weight
The use of graphic weight adds a tone of seriousness mixed with the darkness to show the evil growing in her part of the world. It could be symbolism of light in the darkness with her morals being unique and righteous in a darker and darker world with twisted religious oppression. ]]> 2017-12-13 20:26:07 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_lewis/vexojfjf487c/wish/215978852 Alex Blomquist: Captions, Bubbles, etc. https://padlet.com/lisa_lewis/vexojfjf487c/wish/216318927 Essential Question 1: Growing Up
The use of caption bubbles to evoke emotion heavily relates to the the ideas of growing up and changing. Marjane’s mother is a prime example of of this as seen with the spiked bubble to give the reader a visual idea of someone yelling. This changes marjane greatly because her mother is trying to tell her just how important her rare education is compared to all those who are unable to get one.
Graphic Novel Element
The use of caption bubbles is used throughout Persepolis as a tool to evoke loud noises or yelling. Marjane’s mother uses it when she is arguing with marjane for skipping classes and acting very childish. It’s also a very popular tool used in comics in a similar fashion. ]]> 2017-12-14 20:07:59 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_lewis/vexojfjf487c/wish/216318927 Marti https://padlet.com/lisa_lewis/vexojfjf487c/wish/222202010 2018-01-17 19:19:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_lewis/vexojfjf487c/wish/222202010 Marti pg 70 https://padlet.com/lisa_lewis/vexojfjf487c/wish/222203838 In this panel, Marjane is upset because her uncle was killed. Her face is used to show anger, her mouth open and yelling with her eyebrows downward. She looks at god with an accusatory stare because she blames him for her uncle's death. This can be used to represent the essential question #2. Marjane is confused and sad and frustrated and she gets mad at go]]> 2018-01-17 19:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_lewis/vexojfjf487c/wish/222203838 Jalen Dearring: https://padlet.com/lisa_lewis/vexojfjf487c/wish/222207812 Essential question 4: Beliefs
The essential question about beliefs is seen in this panel because Marjane is telling us what she wanted to be and is directly relating herself to god. She is talking about who she looks up to and what she believes in because she wanted to be a model of that.

The author uses her hands to represent what she wanted to be and what she believes in. Like for justice, she is holding a balance in her hand, for love, she's making a peace sign with her hands to show love. And for the wrath of god, she is holding weapons. All these together in one panel makes for a good visual of what she believes and how she wanted to looked at]]> 2018-01-17 19:32:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_lewis/vexojfjf487c/wish/222207812 Jalen Dearring: graphic weight https://padlet.com/lisa_lewis/vexojfjf487c/wish/222224553 Essential question 2:
The graphic weight of this graphic is directed towards the three children with nails between their fingers and then to Ramin cowering behind the tree. The children feel that they must punish Ramin for the actions of his father. They feel that they have to do this because of the common belief of the culture to support aspects of life contrary to the shah. His dad was a member of the secret police so they felt compelled by the values of society to to do something. This is a great example of balancing the demands and requirements of society with personal beliefs. The graphic weight of this panel reveals what the popular opinion is against those with the shah.]]> 2018-01-17 20:12:07 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_lewis/vexojfjf487c/wish/222224553 Jalen Dearring https://padlet.com/lisa_lewis/vexojfjf487c/wish/222232853 Essential question #1: In this panel it shows that in their society people can't be their true self. They can't express themselves with clothes or music or evening partying (modern things). They balanced the harsh demands of society by, Marjane who left for more freedom and so she can be her true self while receiving a good education as well.

Graphic novel element: In this panel Marjane parents are in the foreground and it shows how sad they are for leaving their daughter, Marjane mom can’t walk because she’s said. In the mid ground it shows people who look confused about why a women is being carried. Then in the background is Marjane who is even more shocked and saddened at the sight of her mother being carried away in sorrow by her father.
