not finished

Characters in my book Persepolis, can compare to the characters in Garrett's book. There are prisoners that are chained up in the"cave". They are chained up in the darkness of the cave. Like Garrett's book, there are prisoners that were chained up in my book also. They were chained and beaten. My character Marjane's family freinds; uncle were the one's inmprisoned and mistreated. Thats how I can relate to Garrett's book. In his book, they were only chained. In my book, the prisoners were also beaten. That is a comparison between the two.

A reality situation that my character Marjane and her family are going through is that there is a revolution going on in their community. As an everyday thing, it becomes part of their life. Losing loved one's; and just trying to cope with it on a day to day basis. That is an example from my book Persepolis that represents reality. An example that represents fiction, would be a little ten year old girl who talks to god. At first, it is reality to her. Then she becomes aware that it is all fictional.

  1. theres nobody chained up in my book, the cave is a metaphor, it doesnt actually happen, its something to portray an idea. The Allegory of the Cave is a piece by Plato.
