Persepolis

So far I am liking the book.  I think that it is very interesting to read about Iran.  I think that most Americans don't really know that much about Iran.  The videos in class kind of proved that.  At first I thought it was hard to keep track of all of the characters and the pictures really slowed down my reading.  Now that I have gotten used to it I enjoy reading.  I had never read a graphic novel and had prior to this class had some doubts about them.  I didn't really know what they were like.  I am glad that we read this book in class so I could read one.  I think that if I didn't read Persepolis for class I probably would have never read a graphic novel.  I found it interesting how she had such a hard time leaving her family.  I think that all of her problems in Europe were mainly caused just because she was worried about her family.  I think it would be very hard to be in a foreign place without knowing any one and having to worry that your family could be killed because of the war.  I also think that she felt a lot of guilt being safe from the war and not following her beliefs from back home.  It is a good thing that she is back in Iran now with her family.  I hope she will be able to find somebody that she truly loves because she has had a lot of problems doing that so far.
