HW Mr. Padilla 2.27.17

Dear parents/guardians, please assist your child with today’s homework.

This month we will be studying the novel Persepolis, a novel about a young Iranian girl, Marjane, during the Islamic revolution.  This is a graphic novel and the illustrations are in black and white. To better understand the novel we will learn little about Iranian culture, history, geography and religion.  We will be connecting Persepolis to other novels we have read.

Option 3:

Persepolis tells a first-hand story of what it was like to be raised in Iran. Unfortunately, people consider Iranians to be "the bad guys." Reading what it's like to grow up in Iran is like reading what it's like to grow up as a young stormtrooper on the Death Star.

         Unlike the Death Star, Iran isn't actually evil—Iran's citizens are people of the world just like us and, just like us, they want to listen to music, hang out with friends, and party.

         Marjane grew up in Iran just as things started getting bad. It was a rough time to grow up there but Marjane survives protests and bombings—she moves to Vienna and then back to Iran.

Task:  Why do you think that in this reading, growing up in Iran is compared to growing up as a stormtrooper in the Death Star? Explain your answer,
