Persepolis Reflection

I absolutely loved reading Persepolis. I never knew that reading a graphic novel could be so intriguing. It was actually fun to read and I looked forward to it.

My favorite part about the reading experience was the combination of art and text. Sometimes novels can get weighed down by the endless descriptions. I'm not saying that I don't like descriptive prose by any means. I love a good ole' poetic depiction in the morning. I am just saying that it was new to me to be able to see the setting and characters as the author had seen them. Ususally one has to create an image in his or her head using only the description the author provides. There is no way in hell that I can picture the heroine exactly as the writer had seen it in their head. Sometimes that can be a good thing but othertimes you just wonder. Reading a graphic novel was a change of pace and I thought it was much needed.

This is definately something that I would recommend to others. It's something different and you should keep it as a key part of your curriculum. Reading something outside your comfort zone is always beneficial. I can't find any reason for you to trash this.
