In class we've started to read a graphic novel, Persepolis. I really find this book interesting because of the fact that it's a comic book! The read is quick and it's actually interesting. I feel that I can absorb more information from a graphic novel because each piece of writing is connected to a picture, so you can remember what you read. So far, I've learned about the Islamic Revolution and the overthrow of the Shah in Iran in 1979. I find it interesting because this story is told from the point of view of a 10 year old girl, which is a different perspective than we readers are usually used to. The book reading is going well and we are about half way through it, I'm not quite sure what's to happen by the end of the novel, but I assume the main character and her family will get caught in all the revolution happening and that will lead to something exciting.
