freedom In the novel on page five, there is a picture shown with a group of ladies chanting for the veil,

the veil are covered in all black, expressing a dark and hateful expression rather than the ladies covered
in all white are portraying more of a peaceful loving expression. The ladies in black also have their eyes
shut, which shows how Satrapi depicts her feelings towards seeing these women blind to the truth.
Their eyes are closed in view of the fact that they are blind to the truth due to society and it’s forceful

Later Marji loses her faith in God. Satrapi depicted what Marji was feeling in a single frame on page
images to display Marji’s mood and state of mind. Satrapi’s style of artwork portrays a new element of
literature from her nuanced ideas in a rebellious way revealing the ugly truth and beautiful lie. The black
and white colors play a huge role on how Satrapi portrays her emotions towards her art. Her art displays
how she feels about the values of her own life. She uses dialogue when absolutely necessary as well as
using pictures to illustrate her language. Satrapi’s illustrations are black and white, giving an example
that Iran is a strict, straight forward country. They have strict dress codes, black veils, and make it clear
what is right and wrong. In Persepolis, page seventy, there is a complete turning point in the book.
Marji’s life falls apart as she discovers her Uncle Anoosh has been executed.
