Part A (First Blog entry)

I feel that Marjane Satrapi chose the comics style to produce her memoir because it really sets the whole tone of the story. This story is being told through a child’s perspective and experiences of this time, and she had even mentioned reading comic strips within the memoir as a child. This really displays a sense of a childhood and innocence, this way the reader can get more of an understanding within her story. The way a comic book is laid out is very straight forward and childlike. The story itself is broken up in these strips formed and displayed in a way child thinks and sees things. This style gives us, as the reader, more of a understanding of the memoir. It in a way, this memoir is in written form, of what is actually going on through a child’s mind.
