Reading the Multimodal Narrative

For this assignment I read Persepolis. I had actually already read this last semester for an Islam class I took, so I thought id refresh my memory and read it again because i remembered I liked it. I am a person who likes to read, just not when it comes to comics. I prefer my comics to be mainly image based with minimal words. Persepolis actually has a nice distribution of images and text, not too much not too little. The artwork is certainly interesting. Being an illustration student im going to be judgmental, but i think for the story the style of artwork works. The style actually reminds me a lot of the stories that I used to read as a kid. Very simple and very straight forward. The comic was both entertaining and educational, it kept my attention. I wish I could tell my life story through a comic. I think it might bore people though.
