Reading
this graphic novel, reconfirmed that my favorite graphic novels are biographic or
historical in nature. I think this is because they are usually simply written
without overwhelming you with facts. Since I didn’t enjoy history when I was
younger and still can’t get into long-winded nonfiction books; well-written and
illustrated graphic novels are an enjoyable way to reeducate (or learn
something completely new) myself. This is definitely a great example. Persepolis is about a young girl growing up in Iran during the
Islamic Revolution. It is not only educational, it is surprisingly funny,
entertaining, and a true eye-opener. I highly recommend it to everyone.
