Dear Marjane Satrapi
I have been reading your graphic novel Persepolis and I have to tell you that it is a very informative book. Unfortunately I was not aware of the things you were exposed to as a young girl. The media here in America shows a whole different side of what has been happening in the Middle East for the past thirty or so years. Once I began to analyze your novel I noticed that my life and your life were not so different after all. We both grew up with loving families that faced challenges. I also did not understand, as a child, why people in the lower classes were treated so differently; I asked myself questions without any answers. When I was six years old I started to question God. But later I gain the knowledge that I am in control of my own destiny not God. I want to congratulate you because I believe that with this novel you were able to change people’s perspective about you and your people. It is vital for people to understand and be aware of what is going on outside of their countries. I do have one question; if you had the chance to rewrite this novel would you change or add anything? I honestly learned a lot through the process of reading and analyzing Persepolis.
Sincerely
JuanCarlos Acosta
