Persepolis is about a little girl named Marjane Satrapi , her memories of growing up, and events that occurred through the Islamic Revolution. This memoir is created by complete black and white comic strips that really make the book very fascinating for readers. As the reader goes through the book, they will notice the strength and concern she has for family and war that is going on right before her eyes. You can’t help but feel empathy and hope for her. Marjane also shows the reader her clever, eccentric, full of life energy as she tells her story. If students wanted another book similar to this one, I would mention the Persepolis 2, Maus, or even Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic. In connect to “Making the match”, teens would enjoy this funny, deep, and factual memoir. This book will clear up some of the stereotypical thoughts people may have about people from the Middle East.
