Something that I began to notice a bit more about the artwork in this comic book is the meaning it reflects in addition to the dialogue.  Many of us would think that detailed artwork and drawing would be required to tell a story but just simple drawings could add lots of more meaning to a story.  Persepolis does a very good job with usage of drawings, especially in showing emotions through facial expressions.  During a time of revolution and war, emotion is a very prominent aspect in the authors life as well as those she interacts with.  Frustration, sadness, fear, and anger are just a few of these emotions displayed through the characters facial expressions.
