Dear Marjane Satrapi,
Hello! I am Morena Coto from the city of Los Angeles and one of the lucky ones who read your book, Persepolis. First of all, I would like to congratulate you for this amazing autobiographical book you had the time to write.
In the book Persepolis, you always had me comparing and contrasting your life with my own. Most of the time it was funny because you were always very honest, like the time when you told Laly that if people told her people were on a trip it was because they were actually dead. I think that was mean, but you remind me of myself because sometimes I’m too honest and can hurt someone’s feelings. I just can’t neglate things so easily.
Your way of life was very different than mines or others that live here in the U.S. It’s different because you certainly don’t have to wear a veil to go to school or talk about religion in certain cases. There’s more freedom and equalities here than there is in Iran, like boys are conjugated with girls in schools and even joining the military.
Our parents have similarities and differences. Your parents are religious and mines aren’t, maybe just my mother, but a little. I implicit that your parents love to speak up and protest, in contrast my parents don’t, like my father thinks it a waste of time to go vote. But they are very supportive specially in school, while your also supported you when you wanted to become a prophet.
Most of the catches in your book, talked about wars, deaths, social classes, and family. It was a good book there was positive and negative situations but that’s life and you really pulled it off when you wrote your comic book.
