BLog 2 - PERSEPOLIS

Describe the writer's voice. Is it apealing? Which aspects of Marji's character do you identify with or like the most, the least? Did your reaction to the girl afect your reading experience?

The vioce of the writer's is best to describe as a more alive vioce and one who have gone through a stuggle. Im not really sure how would you really describe the writer's vioce in Persepolis. Im would have to thing this farther more. I like the most about Marji's Character is that she always into like politice and she into helping her people and wanting to knoe even more. But then the least that make me don't like her that much is that she wonder to much and like what she see god weird. I think that the picture just get to me about Marji's character. Through out the story i did have these reaction about this girl. It was all like seeing what she went through and what the thing was how she did still stay strong to the very end. Even if there is still more that is going to come or is happening. But what got me the most was that she really did want to stood up for her country and for a girl at that age to do that is like a jump to me. It really also get me a question to myself is that "would i also do that for my country," it made me think i would even have the engery to do that i would be some what not into it at all. But then this is my own opinoin on the the main character in this story.


What is the role of women in the story? Compare and contrast the various women: Marji, her mother, her grandmother, her school, neighbors, gurardians of the revoultion.

The role of women in this story was that girl was to stay home and do the house work and also barely had any right of there own. To compare this to mans they had little right and not much the same as a mans would. Man on the other hand can speak of what they want or what they say which other people would also give them respect and would listen to. Both gender had there own right but man are the one that have the most. Ccomparing this to the people that Marji's see aroung aspecial women, they are give law and rule to be follow or to be punish. Just as thing change in the story, Marji family, friend, neighbors, and stranger that are women had new rule to follow as thing keep on happening. Right now it seem as there still things that are still happen right at this moment were woman in Iran or anywhere in the middle east are going through many changest. Have to much in mind to say but ima leave it here for today.....

In what ways is "Persepolis" both telling a story and commenting on the imporatance of stories in our lives? What does the book suggest about how stories shape and give meaning to our experience? Discuss some of the stories in "Persepolis" - Uncle Anoosh's story, her grandmother's story, Niloufar's story.

In Persepolis it also does tell us a importance and truth to our lives. It tell us the truth of what a war or stuggle can do to a girl or even to us. It give us a change and make our lives, different and also a change to us and that change that shape us to. But as right now there are still much that are going on things that make us different, our are past and the experience that shape us. Each and everyone are shaped differetly just because of our experience, but if you think about it our experience had connection to other people to. Those that are around mayalso have the same experince as you. In Persepolis, Uncle Anoosh's story shaped him and mad him who he is. Is something that is a part of what make him different is through this experience. Like even if her life his wife and kids who were Russian, it made him have a different view of people. Experience are all different but it shaped everyone.
