I found The Texture Of Retracing In Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis to be a very illuminating reading. This text talks about Marjane Satrapis Presepolis in which she talks about her childhood and her experiences with the Islamic Revolution. This novel is precieved as a graphic novel. Hillary Chute enlightens us about the visual emptiness of each frame of the story. She articulates that the emptiness and the blackness represent the thickness and the vacancy of the writers memory. Marjane Satrapi uses an ideal amount of ethos in her text. She tells us about the graphic nature of her childhood and how she perceived it. Hillary Chute talks about the author calling attention to history by representing endemic images. Majane Satrapis talks about the execution, the bombings, the mass murders that happen during her days as a innocent child. At one point in her story she talks about a executioner urinating in the open wounds of a prisoner. She then talks about the executioners decapitating the prisoner then cutting him in to 7 pieces like a doll. Marjane Uncles was given one person that he could request to see before his execution and he requested Marjane Strapi. He tells her to Never Forget. I believe this was probably the best part of this reading to me, because she never forgot. I think that ethos comes into play when her mother sends her away from Iran and fainted when the planes leaves. I think that this part of the text is a very emotional and touching part. Hillary Chutes informs us that Marjane Satrapi stresses the gap between our knowledge and our own imagination. I think this statement is completely veridical because its some things that I didn’t know and would have never imagined.
How did you feel when you left Iran?
Why was your uncle executed?
How did all the violence affect her childhood?
