Since we are first meeting Marji in these chapters, I'm glad you're thinking about how we should characterize her! https://nowcomment.com/documents/253218?scroll_to=2343756 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253218?scroll_to=2343756 Sat, 20 Feb 2021 11:53:50 +0000 Glad you noticed this - it's all in the details in graphic novels https://nowcomment.com/documents/253218?scroll_to=2343755 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253218?scroll_to=2343755 Sat, 20 Feb 2021 11:49:19 +0000 I think that's a great point Jhamir - it's almost like Marjane as the author uses the panel placement to separate herself and the other girls are annoyed about it https://nowcomment.com/documents/253218?scroll_to=2343754 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253218?scroll_to=2343754 Sat, 20 Feb 2021 11:47:21 +0000 In this panel I notice that there are number of people on top of each other and none of them look particularly happy. They're on a bicycle with five wheels, but no one seems to be "driving" the bike. https://nowcomment.com/documents/253218?scroll_to=2339734 https://nowcomment.com/documents/253218?scroll_to=2339734 I think that Marjane Satrapi might be trying to communicate that the revolution was chaotic in Iran. No one is clearly taking the lead even though there are many Iranians involved in the conflict.
