Chapters 4-10 of Persepolis were even more interesting to read than the first three. Once again, I was captivated by the narration. The author’s portrayal of childhood thoughts and emotions is basically flawless. It makes the story of the young girl growing up in this tumultuous time really hard hitting. I also love the growth that we can see the narrator undergoing over the course of the story. It’s clear that she is learning more about her country and beginning to form her own morals. It’s a beautiful journey that I feel privileged to be privy to. The matter of fact narration, a staple of any conversation with a child, also continues to make Persepolis a truly heartbreaking read.
