For my final paper, I want to write about Persepolis and how its naivete in design and writing help to make the novel more mature, despite the fact that it is written as a graphic novel, and involving the author's childhood.
I haven't exactly formed a thesis yet, but I have been able to gather the quotes from the literary theory that I want to use. I want to use "Graphic Narrative as Witness" for my theory piece for my final paper. From there, I have gathered three quotes.

• "Persepolis is inspired by a different tradition of the avant-garde: it is expressionistic and minimalist. The stylization of Persepolis suggests that the historically traumatic does not have to be visually traumatic." page 137
• "' I wanted people in other countries to read Persepolis to see that I grew up just as other children do.'" page 138
• "Persepolis not only does not forget but also, more significant, shows us the process of 'never forgetting' through its layers of verbal and visual narration: it presents the procedure, in addition to the object, of memory. Persepolis proliferates selves on the page." page 143

The pages I want to use from Persepolis to convey my point:

• Page 89
• Cars surrounded by a fire but not burning
• flames are not eve touching the cars.
• brutality in the picture, but it's not actually being portrayed.
• Page 18
• Bottom left panel, talks about Satrapi interrupting her parents to ask them if they want to play Monopoly
• Image of her being a normal child, and wanting to do childlike things despite what is going on in the world around her.
• Page 91
• Images of a family friend's sons and how their childhood was not hindered by any of the world's events.
• They talk about pop culture things, like Star Wars, and wanting to play games.
