I commented on Jonathan's blog, it was an older blog from april 21st and it talked about the speech bubbles and their links to tone. I thought this idea was very wise and well thought out because once i flipped through the pages it did seem true. I thought this was...
Within Persepolis, I found that the tone of how the characters say their words depends on the shape of a speech bubble. For example on page 140 where Marji and her mom reunite after the bombing near where she lived they address eachother with pointy speech bubbling which...
Literary Feature Hunt:
Last class we discussed the themes and motifs of the book. We discovered that there are many interesting motifs and themes that could be created for this book. In particular i liked the motif's of the mirrors. It was interesting because our group that...

Today in class we had a brief discussion on the role of procrastination in Persepolis. Marji is shown to be quite the procrastinator in Persepolis. She always seems to put off solving a situation until it turns into a crisis and someone has to help her come to the realization that she...

This book is definitely getting more interesting as we keep reading and there are many parts I find quite interesting and strange as well. One part that struck me in this part of the book is how excited Marjane is when she receives stuff which she should not have and could get...
