Reading chapters 1-3 of persepolis was very enjoyable but also made me more aware of how ignorant I am about the history of Iran and the rest of the middle east. I loved the format of this story, and reading a comic book was very enjoyable but also went by quickly. The concept of kids having to be exposed to a political and social climate like this at such an early age is alarming, and I thought it was crazy that at that young of an age she asked to go to social demonstrations/protests where so many people were being killed and injured. I thought it was also interesting that her grandpa was the prince, and how he transitioned through his education and those being surrounded by him into a communist, and being in jail a large portion of his life away from his daughter.

Overall I really enjoyed this read, and would love to engage more with comic book content in the future. I love how a life story or such a serious topic can be presented through a comic, it makes stories very engaging and informative.
