Persepolis Was Written for people to learn thatthere is something wrong in Iran in terms of politics as well as in the West in terms of preoccupation. The cover, the genre, the perspective through the eyes of a first-person narrator child and the content of the graphic novel, all have a deconstructive effect on established stereotypes and prejudices. Telling the story with only black and white drawings Contributes to this by bringing to the readers attention did figuratively thinking in only black and white is an inadequate way of thinking. In this way Persepolis mediates between East and West: Everything about it leads to a blurring of the boundaries between cultural thesis extreme, with the result thatthey become at least indistinct, at best irrelevant at all.
Persepolis is really great place to learn more about Iran, for example, about the recent history of the country, which originally was called Persia, or where the "Islamization" of the country stirring. The view is a child, the reader soon notices that the narrator has a limited way of looking at the things that happen around them. He / she has to engage in it and filter the information given to the black and white images and text, to get to the "truth". The presentation of Satrapi's childhood has conspicuously a lot in common with a "prototypically western" childhood and shows that many prejudices Iran are against lapses, so that the boundaries between "East" and "West" become blurred, if not entirely unimportant.
This first part on Satrapi's childhood like it better than the second part about her later life in France by far.
