Persepolis 2
Jennifer Camper critiques Persepolis 2 in such a unique way. She utilizes a comic in order to analyze another comic, which is incredibly powerful. By illustrating her thoughts through a comic, she is able to get her point cross with few words and many informative pictures. I believe that people take great interest in new and different ways of representation, and her review will and probably has been viewed by a great percentage of people because of its format. Paragraphs and paragraphs of long sentences tend to bore Americans, specifically, so being short, to the point, and artistic is alluring to the eye and engaging for the mind. Personally, I believe that one of the strongest points in Camper's comic is that she appeals to all people (most specifically, all ages). She incorporates two Iranian women, two modern day women, a teenage boy and girl, men and women (probably 20 and up), teenagers, and children who all freely give their comments on the book. Also, by changing the setting of each couple of panels, it appeared as though Persepolis 2 is being talked about everywhere. Overall, this review is extremely effective in its purpose to interest society in learning about Iran and Marjane Satrapi. -Christina
