Persepolis blog 1.......almost done!

The new York Times hails Persepolis as "the latest and one of the most delectable examples of a booming postmodern genre: autobiography by comic book." Why do you think this genre is so popular? Why did Satrapi chose this formay in which to tell her story. What does the visual aspects add that a conventional memoir lacks? Have you read other Graphic novels? How is Persepolis different and or similar to those? how does persepolis compare to comic books? would you call this a comic book? blah blah blah blah........
I think that the genre is popular because it shows what she remembers in her own words and through her eyes using the pictures. I have read Maus and it is super good and i LOVED it! Persepolis is different to Maus because Maus is through Art's dads eyes, while Persepolis is through Marji's eyes and is first hand experiences.I would put persepolis in the memoir section in a book store because while it is a graphic novel it is still and mainly a memoir.

Describe the writers voice. Is it appealing? which aspects do you identify with or like the most? blah blah blah.......
her voice is what SHE wants people to know and not what anyone is telling her that she should write about. She speaks from her memeries and what she was thinking at the time and she adds personal and random things into the history of her people and i like that about the book. My reaction to the little girl affected my experience because it made her story more relatable because we where closer in age then when she was an adult.

Inspit of everything kids where trying to look hip blah blah blah...........
Kids would look hip buy adding patches and buttons to their clothes and wearing ripped jeans and looking "punk" like when Marji went to the party and her mom ripped her sweater. I think i would have done small things to make it my own like adding patches and color to things. Evey teen rebels in their own way and Marji was just being normal by listening to music that was frowned upon and being political.
