Reading “Persepolis,” it’s clear how much the pictures add to the story. The drawings don’t just show what’s happening, they help explain the emotions and the bigger picture of what was going on in Iran. For example, when talking about the veil, the illustrations show the mixed feelings of the girls. The words tell the story, but the images give it depth, helping readers connect with the author’s experiences in a more meaningful way. The combination of text and art makes the book’s messages clearer and more impactful.

The black-and-white images and the tragic story behind them make the whole work full of tragic colors, and the visual impact of the images makes the suffering of the Iranian people in the Iran-Iraq war visually displayed in front of us.
