Good morning,
Class today took Satrapi to the next level. Analyzing her drawings as well as where she was truly coming from while writing this graphic novel was very enlightening. I do believe that Satrapi would not have had the opportunity to write The Complete Persepolis had she not have had the funds to leave Tehran and fled to Austria, etc. The experiences that she encountered while away from home gave her the strength and intelligence to come back to her home town a stronger woman, ready to tackle to world at hand. Her autobiography is beautiful, giving us as readers a visual example of her life year by year.
I am very excited to watch the English version of Satrapi's masterpiece. Nominated for an Academy Award has obviously shown that the movie is worth viewing and Satrapi herself was successful in her cinematic portrayal of her life.
Because I have appreciated this graphic novel on a different level than some of the other novels we encountered over the semester, I feel that The Complete Persepolis will be the best option for my final term paper. Using her novel, film, news interviews, and speeches should turn out to be a well-rounded analysis of Satrapi and her work.
