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?

I think you did an amazing job of disecting this piece of literature. You found which pieces stood out to you the most and discovered why they stood out to you. Not only did you pick and choose the parts that seemed most meaningful to you, but also the parts that are meaningful to the author or the main character. You figured out why somethings were said and discovered that they led to something later in the main characters life. You wrote about the intense detail the author shares about torture. I think this was good because it had much an extreme influence and effect on the main character. You did a great job describing this paper, but i wish you had shown more about how you personally felt when you read this piece. Othewise, i think you did a great job, and keep up the good work!
Thank you Jamie for the positive feedback i got from you. It really helped me in a sense where I would not have gotten help before. I liked that you acknowledge the things that you liked about my blog posting. This helps me to know what I am doing right and what I am doing wrong. I also like that you wrote that I put much emphasis on the main character. That is what I was aiming for. Overall thank you for you comment and I will keep up the good work.
