Persepolis

Persepolis is a recollection of sorts about a girl who suffered through what many of us have never seen with our eyes... war. To me persepolis reminds me of the diary of anne frank. Although the diary was not a graphic novel, both stories share common ground. The stories both give the reader a view through their eyes and how their lives were drastically changed through war. However, persepolis goes far beyond on that and touches on such aspects as sexuality, indepdence and family. The story itself is a lot of little events rolled up into one big memory.

Good comparison to The Diary - very thoughtful.
