Problem Of Mistreatment In Persepolis
The reading of the graphic novel was not easy at all for me for I have never read this book yet I tried to read but never passed more than ten pages for I thought I may not be having the interest to read. As the days went on I tried my level best to read and understand and I got a little curious to know what happened, though I watched this as a movie yet reading is far different from it. I liked the cartoon-type faces on it, also the expression and some cartoons were cute, made me laugh and wonder some boxes were fully covered with people’s head what it means whether they are dead or all are trying to communicate something to each other.
The graphic novel Persepolis was about Marjane’s life in Iran. She was a kid when the upset evacuated the Shah. She turned into a lady when the Islamic system moved advancement back. Marji's family is moderate, scholarly, and political-minded too. Before the transformation, they go to parties where individuals drink, smoke, and discuss legislative issues and sex. In any case, after the transformation, these gatherings are pushed underground. And the liquor using becomes a crime, so the people are not allowed to keep any wine bottle at home otherwise they would be punished.
At the point when Persepolis starts in 1978, Tehran's lanes are a mass of showings and cries to cut down the Shah, Marji's family is loaded with expectation and happiness at the possibility of political change.

A religious express, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and with it a time of severe mistreatment. The individuals who restricted the new request, some captured. Rights and opportunities, particularly women's, were abridged.

Later, Marji is requested to look at the style of garments!' by educators who draw down her cloak, and pronounce her Michael Jackson identification an 'image of Western wantonness!' It's interesting, yet undermining as well; the dark space of the instructor's chador weaving machines a threat hungry to gulp down Marji.
