Persepolis

What I noticed immediately after starting Persepolis was how American I am. What I mean by that is the fact that not only did I know nothing about the middle east's culture, but I also never really bothered to think about that either. It just never occurred in my mind. I like to learn about other cultures, so reading this was cool to see what kind of things are common in a middle eastern family. Also, it's nice to see this because it's not something to many people talk about in today's society because of the war and everyone's prejudices. As for the style of the comic, I really enjoyed the somewhat cartoony, round characters. This made the characters seem friendlier and over all made me like them more.
