It is hard for me to describe how this book has a different effect on me than other books. I read books with illustrations all the time when I was in elementary school. Persepolis has illustrations but it has bad words and disturbing content and it has witty humor that preteens start to get. And it is not much of an adult book because of the comedy it has throughout the book in the illustrations and dialogue.
I really gives that feeling that it is written about the past. The pictures and the words are like memories, to me. When I think of something in the past, I have a glimpse picture of the highlights and how I felt about certain issues. In the book, the author puts pictures of what she saw, pictures of her interpretation of events she heard about, and dialogue that fit her young definite attitude. What I mean by the young definite attitude is that what she heard was the truth to her and that she would defend the truth. The way it is written just seems like what she saw in her head was what she put down. She kept that child-like view on the situation.
