Persepolis Literature Study Genre Trailer Paragraph

Arash, Parsa, Hamon, Garsha

In our trailer project, we based the movie of a graphic novel, Persepolis by author Marjane Satrapi which was about her life during these historic events such as the Iran-Iraq war, the Iranian Revolution and the rise of the Islamic Republic of Iran. These events were told from her perspective and what happened through her point of view and not what is in the history books. We focused more on the action of the events in the story than the autobiography side of the book.

The book ‘Persepolis’ has a Genre of Non-fiction and sub-genre of Autobiography. All the stories in the book are developed by the protagonist Marjane. Marjane is telling her story in a book for four years, from the age of 10 to 14. Through this project, we chose the important events that take place in the original story and then we add a little bit of action and thriller spices to it. Because the story takes place in the late 70s and early 80s, we tried to show that decades of mood and atmosphere by borrowing some customs.
