I think persepolis is more powerful as a non fictional story because it tells a real story with real opinions. Many people didnt kno about the Islamic Revolution. Marjane helps explain it in a interesting way. Also many people especially americans consider someone with a veil or some kind of head wrap an terrorist. In the story she shows that they all arent. Ive never read a memoir before but im guessing if its fictional it would make peopl believe in fictional things.

Satrapi shows this by stating the other point of views of people. For example when she went to school and the teacher was telling them to wear veils. Her mom was mad and didnt want to wear them and the kids kept taking them off any ways. Persepolis teaches me alot about Iran. I didnt know that women had to go through all this to wear the veils. Also I didnt even know that it was called a veil lol. Also Persepolis taught me about the Islamic Revolution. It helps me understand that not all Iranians are for war and they all dont want to fight us for the money we dont have.

Marji in the story is like any regular girl, except shes probably the only child that likes to listen and watch the news. She is very funny and she likes to brag a lot about things. The thing I liked about Marji was she liked to speak her mind and tell everyone what was really going on, but at the same time was a respectful nice girl. All she wanted was to be able to call one of her family members a hero in the war. The little girls reaction pretty much made the story. I think if she wasnt a narrator it would of been alot different. The people she was around helped show different reactions for example she was really shocked and disturbed when she saw the girls bracelet with a destroyed hand with it, and her mom didnt have a reaction to it. Therefore it showed two different reactions to one situation.
