Persepolis By Marjane Satrapi

The memoir Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi is written from a child’s point of view. The author relives the moments she lived in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. She does this by not only telling us but by also showing us through comic strip images. This allows the reader to get a better sense of what she lived through and what she witnessed throughout her childhood. Satrapi’s purpose for writing this book was to depict the truth and to honor those who lost their lives during the war. To do this, she not only mentions, the hardships she endured but also the small ray of good moments. During the 1980s, they suffered from oppression being forced to act and look a certain way. However, Marji never lets that stop her from being true to herself,
