The thing I really like about Persepolis is that despite the Islamic revolution in Iran, Marjane is still extremely relatable. The family dynamics are very powerful and just as relatable, and as Marjane grew up, I felt I was growing up with her. Her rebellion of cultural norm that happened when she left Iran made me reflect on my own experiences away from home, and how much I have changed in my time in college and war. Another thing I really liked was the relationship between Marjane and her grandmother. I really liked how realistic her old woman quirks were, such as filling her bra with lavender petals so she’d smell nice.
