Summary:
The reading persopolis was graphic memoir about the life of a girl growing up under a dictatorship. It is very interesting compared to the other memoirs we read already. This one seems more interesting than the others. It is drawn out showing what the other is doing and what she is saying during many different panels from when she wanted to be a prophet until she wanted to go and demonstrate with her parents. The second reading was not as interesting as the first but it's talks about how graphic novels are growing as a new litery form. She goes more indebt about a new york article that focus on the men and only mention women in passing. She go on an talks how women and men have made works equallly in "graphic narrative".
Reaction:
My reaction is that the persopolis story was the most interesting reading so far. It probably because I am a very visual person and that I love to read almost anykind of graphic novel. How the author thought she was a prophet and that she was talking to god was very funny to me. But, inbetween those jokes the author put some serious subjects such as the people getting burn inside the movie theatre. The second reading was seriosly boring and was putting me on the verge of sleep several times.
Questions:
Why use illustration with your story when you can just write it out?
What country was the author writing about?
In the second story, why don't the author give evidence to the claim that graphic novels is not a man's world.

I think that the author uses illustration instead of just writng it out because it paints a clearer picture in your head. Even though you could understand what the writer was saying, it really made me feel the emotions she was feeling when she wrote it. It was also interesting how the author only used black and white in the pictures. It showed us the contrast of what she was feeling. Persepolis was about a young girl in Iran.
