For Monday: Satrapi, Persepolis (Part I)

On Friday, we discussed why comic books are a truly Non-Western form of literature, and examined how they tell stories in a unique way that combines the visual language of art with language itself. We'll recap some of this in class on Monday. I also passsed out the Paper #3/Final Exam assignment, which you can find in the post below this one. MAKE SURE to read it, since it is a major part of your final grade. 

For Monday, read the first part of Persepolis, from the beginning to around the part where her parents send her to live in Vienna. There are no questions for class, but we will have an in-class response when you arrive. So be sure to read carefully even if it is a comic book!
