Congratulations, Persepolis reader! By now you should have completed your reading of the memoir. If you are done and your wiki is up-to-date (see May 15 for a complete list), you may complete the following two tasks:
In the comment box below, write a response (1-2 thoughtful paragraphs) to the memoir as a whole. You might consider the following questions:
- What did you find most intriguing about the memoir?
- What (if anything) didn't work for you?
- What did you think about the way the author told her story? Was it effective? Confusing? Both?
- Did you learn anything new because you read this book?
- If you could meet Marjane Satrapi, what questions might you ask her?
- Would you recommend this book to future seniors (or anyone else)? Why or why not?
Finally, look through the student pages for all of the books. Choose four to comment on, in addition to the two you completed last week. Your comments should be as specific and thorough as possible, and be at least two to three sentences in length.
Leftover time? Here are some things you can/should consider before you do anything else:
- Check out the extra credit film project.
- Go to www.freerice.com , work on your vocabulary skills, and donate rice to the UN World Food Bank!
- Work on your zine (create an outline, develop ideas, gather visuals, type journal entries, etc.)

well i really liked the book it was really interesting. it really showed how it eas when she was a little girl. of how the laws were what they could wear. of the war it was all really interesting to hear what her life was really like. also to go though the book and see her grow up and the other problems she was faced with, like she couldnt exprese her self like she wanted to. then at the end of the book when she is 14 she is forced to leave her family and live on here own.
