Satrapi constructed her novel/biography as a graphic novel for accessibility. Although its themes and historical context is written for an adult audience, the storytelling is quintessentially young adult. Young Marjane is witty, clever, and inquisitive. As you study her story, use the links below to help your journey. This is a catalog of resources from the web, but certainly not the only quality sources you will find. If you discover others, email Mr. Neden the link, and we can post it here.
Throughout our unit, you will be asked to look closely at the text, the historical context, and most importantly, the connections to this story and recent events in our own history.
Everything is linked for your own benefit. Enjoy!
