For your final blog post on Persepolis, you may write about anything else that interested you about the novel that you have not yet had a chance to write about.
One thing about the book I found very interesting was the face that Marjane's journey to adulthood, I know that was kind of the point of the book, but I still liked how the book started when she was little. We get to see her grow up, we see her hardship during her time in Austria, we see her learn new things and get an education. We see her debating things in her head about drugs and alcohol, for example when her friends in Austria asked her to smoke and Marjane was debating whether or not to take the drugs and get high. So she turned around and pretended to inhale the drugs, she also poked her eyes so it would look like she was high with red eyes. She wanted to be accepted but didn't want to put her health at risk (for that one time). Once she got older, after the bronchitis she went to the doctor, he said "I forbid you to smoke" or something like that, Marjane was fine with that at first, but after a little while she didn't care about what the doctor said. She started smoking again, she's a risk taker, and that is shown throughout the entire graphic novel. That's why I liked this book and the fact that it starts when she's a little girl
