Reading Response #4: My Reflection on Persepolis

Dear Marjane Satrapi,

I've enjoyed reading your graphic novel, Persepolis, and it made me realize and become aware about news in the world having to do with social class and the adversity that people had to go through. Every image and words being illustrated in each page is what captivated me to finish the book until the very end. I feel thankful for living the way I do now because I live in the U.S. where there is equal opportunity for all and its a safer place to live in compared to other countries. I am very fortunate to live through a healthy lifestyle and having read Persepolis opened my eyes I know that there are many people from many other countries that had live through wars and see the destruction and chaos its caused. In addition there are people from third-world countries that have it bad too. They don't have enough or all the basic necessities to live by; such as water, food, clothes, and a home. After reading your book, I feel like looking into the news more often and see what is going on with the world.

Sincerely,

Eduardo Zapata
