Juan Trevino

I relate to the character Marjane in my book Persepolis. I relate to her in a lot of ways. One way for relating to her is that she is going through a revolution at the age of ten. That is the same age I was going through the war that begin with the United States and Iraq. It was an everyday thing and the whole country was trying to cope with it. It wasn't first hand, But is still a way that I could bond, and relate to Marjane.

How I would critique the authors writing style is that it is very inmature. The reason why I feel this way about the authors writing style is because she speaks more from a childish perspective. The grammar the aurthor uses is spoken from a person with not alot of schema or knowledge. But then again, the author is narrarating the story from both an adult, and a child. The writing style is still very inmature through out the book.

How I would rate my book from my own personal perspective is three out of five stars. The reason for being that is the book Persepolis doesn't grab my attension or interest me in an amusing way. It is a good book, but it doesn't suit my own personal satisfactions with reading. The topics and on the revolution doesn't bring my attension to any interests.

I would explain the book Persepolis to other people more as a biography on Marjane's childhood. There is alot of illustrations and pictures in the book. Also, each page has very little words and the context of the book is very child like. Persepolis is about a young girl at the age of ten years old that lives with her mother and grandmother. They are dealing with a revolution on a day to day basis in Iran. The book basically describes the hardships that Marjane and her family cope with and faces through out her childhood.
