Richard: Persepolis Snippets: Week 1

I read the persepolis up to Pg. 267 (maybe a wow?!). One snippet would be on Pg. 173, where marjane was talking to Momo. When momo was telling Marjane to relax and cultivate yourself, Marjane had a thinking bubble and it says, "Asshole" and she's smiling. This part kind of confuses me since she said Asshole, what is she getting mad about? Shouldn't she have a serious look rather than a goofy smiling look? Could it be she was hiding her point of view about Bakunin behind her mind?

  1. Good point, Richard. I wonder if there are other parts of the book where a character is thinking something other than what people see form the outside? Are there connections to other works here too?
