First Impressions on Persepolis
My first impressions of Persepolis is that I think it might be pretty good. The art work is pretty good, not as good as other comic books that ive read but it is pretty good. The story is ok as well, this is the first book that i have read that is set in Iran and it is kind of interesting. So far my favorite part of the comic book has to be the unintended humor. one of my favorite pages so far would have to be 51 because of the torture scene. I just think that the scene can show what it was like better that any amount of words could. Another of my favorite scenes was on page 60 the scene with the hobo. I just think that he looks really funny and I would have pictured him differently if not for the drawing.

I agree that the pictures help describe what the author is trying to say throughout the book and it also helps me understand it as well.
ReplyDeleteI think the artwork style was deliberate. I think the author was using the simplicity of her drawings to help make her point clearer. Any extra unnecessary detail has been eliminated. This is different compared to a lot of manga I've read, where the background scenes tend to be very detailed.
ReplyDeleteOut of curiosity, what was funny about the torture scene?
