Chapters 4-10 of Persepolis offered a lot more history into the conflict in the Middle East in the late 70s and early 80s. I learned a lot about that history from this book, which is just another reason as to why it’s easier to understand stories told in a graphic format because it helps digest a lot of complex thinking. I thought that these chapters were interesting because she tells it from the point of view of her older self and she is able to remember more, as well as discuss the heavy topics that came from her past. After attempting to make my own comic type story, I understand how difficult it is to pinpoint frames which you want to draw, and I can only imagine how hard it was for this author to illustrate her story. I’m not sure yet what story I’ll use for personal story, but I have a better understanding that it will be harder to illustrate my ideas exactly how I see them, and make them easy to visualize for readers. I also want to write about a more fun memory/story because I think that will be more interesting to draw and give me more options for the format of my story.
