Persepolis.
Memoirs.
1) I think Satrapi chose the comic book style to create Persepolis, because I think she really wanted to capture her readers, with humor and a visual sense of her life. I found it very hilarious when her father told the teacher of the school, "If hair is as stimulating as you say, then you need to shave your mustache" (pg. 98).
a. The comic book style, allows the reader to visual understand her emotions and point of view. I think that if the book was written traditionally, it wouldnt capture the essence of her story. Alot of the things she wrote about were really complicated, I believe the comic style really helped the reader understand and not make it like a history lesson!
2) I believe if I could write a memoir of my life, I definitely wouldnt write it in a traditionally sense. I'd probably choose to do a film. I think film is the best way to capture any ideas, any thoughts, any event, so I'd definitely chose to do a film.

Does the format trivialize the events in the story, like the war? That is does the humor in the story make the war seem normalized?
So the comics style enabled the story to be more direct?
Why is a film the best way to capture ideas, thoughts, events?
