When being introduced to Persepolis the general comments about the graphic novel really set the tone for what is to come. During the Feb 25th class our discussion ranged from how the graphic novel portrays the importance of religion to the question: can a communist dictatorship ever crush culture or sub culture? to how the art represtents ideas the text does not. I think the diversity of the range of questions not only indicates the complexity of this graphic novel but also the complexity of our class as a whole. When studying a work such as perseopolis it allows people to shine in thier own right as the work allows variety of angles to be analysed. The difference between the variety of ways to analysis Persepolis comapared to 1984 is the fact that the art within the graphic novel, athough related to the text, is a complelty independent form of communiction. I think that the effect of having two differnent forms of communication: text and drawing, compared to just text in 1984, allows people to approach the work in a different way and perhaps, allows people who conncect more to art to share thier perspectivng in a more indepth way then if we were studying a work soley based on using words as communication.
