Persepolis

After reading The Complete Persepolis, I got a new outlook about Iran, Islam and the entire Middle East. I actually enjoyed reading this book because it was easy to understand what Satrapi was trying to show the reader by also drawing pictures throughout the book. I feel like her parents made the right decision sending her to Austria to live with other family even though she was so young because Iran was so dangerous at the time that she could have easily died from the war. Whereas in Austria she is much safer even though she isn't really part of her culture anymore. Either way it was a tough decision made by her parents and they picked the one that they felt was most beneficial to Satrapi. By living in Austria she was able to live the rest of her life and tell other people about everything that happened in Iran. If she would have stayed in Iran, that would have been one more person at a protest, but that's not going to make much of a difference. By living safely in another country she was able to speak her voice through writing this book.
