Sartrapi, Marjane.(2004). Persepolis. NY: Pantheon.
Persepolis is a graphic novel that shares the author’s life
from age 6 – 14 in Iran. She witnesses a lot of devastation during the Islamic
revolution. Because of her families involvement in social activism, she wants
to fix social inequalities as well. Marjane goes to a boarding school in Vienna
run by nuns. She ends up in a variety of living situations and eventually
returns home where she is treated like an equal. This book gives you a look
into the public and private lives of Marxists. Students need to be introduced
to biographies and autobiographies to help broaden their views.
