Second blog entry.

If I were to begin a memoir of my life, I would begin with a setting and situation that I often go through with extreme details of my surroundings and thought process trough the situation including dialect if others are involved. I would do this because, this gives the audience an experience of what I go through, or have been through. Instantly they would get an ideal of what I and my life is about.
Marjane Satapi does something like this, she sets everything up immediately. The should us where she goes to school, whats it like, her home, what her parents are like, her social status, etc. She does this to give he readers an instant ideal of what her life is like, at that moment for that when the book begins to progress you see even the minor changes taking place. In the story it majorly highlights the role of the veils on women, in the beginning there was no stated reason for them but as the book progressed the "importance" or role of the veils were soon reviled, followed by the opinions of how she and her family felt about it. Its a story telling scene where without pages upon pages of detail, you can still catch on to small changes through her thoughts in the comics and captions at the bottom of texts.
