David's Persepolis Blog Week Two: Literary Feature Hunt
From pages 50 to 103, there have been a lot of literary features that I have spotted; however, the one that really caught my eye was from page 102. The picture has children falling from the sky with key necklaces around their necks. I think that Satrapi is trying to create a sense of allusion throught this picture. The reason why I feel this is because the children are dying with the belief that if they wear the keys, they will end up in heaven. Also, the faces of the children are covered and this means that the children can be relatable
