No Persepolis is more powerful if Strapi wroted the way it is because it is a true experience from her. And writing from that experience is more powerful than writing from anexperience that you have never had. This is the first memoir I have read so I can not really relate it to other memoirs. The benefits of memoirs is that it gives people a taste of what the author was going through in their life. Another benefit is that her experience can also relate to others who share the same experience. The drawbacks would be that it brings back the pain that she felt when writing this.

For me the writer's voice was appealing, but only in some of the pages. I do not identify with any of Marji's character, but the one character I like the most is that she can stand up for herself and tell/show how she feels about the war and the rules. The one character that I dislike the most is exaggerating too much. No it did not because I have read similar books/comic to Persepolis.

How the revolution exert power and influence over so many people is because the Taliban threaten to punish them if they do not follow the laws(of god). Many people left after the revolution because because of the war and bombing there were no more jobs. And if there were not a lot of jobs the families can not survive; and the products are getting pricey. I think they send Marji off to Australia because they wanted their daughter to have a future and experience many things outside their land. Also, they probably wanted Marji to be known to other people. The parents does not leave because probably they are afraid that they can not support her enough because finding a job is hard. And they probably wanted to stay and lie in their homeland.
