Richard: Persepolis Literary Feature Hunt: Week 2

The literary feature for this week would be Aside. The literal meaning of this feature is: thinking out loud. In graphic novels, all thoughts and speeches can be only seen by the viewer and the author itself, Persepolis was not excluded. Whenever someone was thinking about something, whether good or bad, criticism or not, only us, the readers, and the author can understand and know it. A good panel would be in Pg. 9, where Marji lied to her parents of becoming a doctor instead of a prophet. Readers and Marjane Satrapi herself were the only ones that know what is happening.
