Marjane's personal memories, set against a backdrop of social and cultural changes, come to life for readers through black-and-white drawings and extensive narrative and dialogue. In FSCC 100, we explored the visual communication strategies that Satrapi used to share her story with readers. Each student selected pages he or she felt were significant and worthy of analysis. Those pages are presented here in the same order in which they appear in Persepolis. Students chose specific visual elements on each page to analyze. We invite you to explore these annotations by moving the cursor around each page until you see a green box appear around a particular element. Adjacent to the box, you'll see student-produced analysis. There are multiple annotations per page. We hope these annotations will provide insights into how a graphic memoir draws upon the power of words and images to convey meaningful ideas to readers.
