Blog Entry 15: Freestyle

I actually enjoyed this weeks assignments. I went and got my books for this class 2 weeks or so before they started. I had Persepolis within the first couple days. I've never read a book like this before. Illustrated and written like a comic strip. I feel like it really helped me understand the things that went on during the 1980's in Iran. I've read textbooks about the history of Iran, but never comprehended it as well I have reading this book.

Reading through the Week 6 materials about her biography, I saw that she is coming out with a sequel. I honestly am kind of excited to read it. I'm kind of a history buff, so when I find something that is fun and an easy read, I really enjoy it a lot more. These assignments have given me a better understanding a better respect for what the people in Iran have been through.
