Week 9 Persepolis

Basically, from what I understand form reading the comic; it was about a young girl named Satrapi and her childhood. From where the story took place was during a time where Iran and Iraq were at odds with each other in war.  She and her family wanted to get out of the situation in Muslim culture and the war they were having.

Overall, I loved the art style; I think it fits with the gritty feeling of the comic. What I mean by that is how the black and white reflects the life the girl was living in. Everything was almost gloomy and grim for them, which the black and white helps perfectly, because of the situation they were in.  

The way the characters are drawn makes it seem like ancient paintings and drawings on the wall, which gives it a nice feeling of like we are reading a story of a girl from somewhere foreign. Also because of how Islam is like a religion that focuses a lot on letters and symbols rather than imagery and icons like in other religions, the black and white coloration, which words and letters are like, has a nice connection with the two.
