Throughout this unit, we learned about one literary text of Persepolis written by Marjane Satrapi. This text is an autobiography of Marjane Satrapi to demonstrate the global issues and tensions that she faced throughout her life. It started out with the religious tensions and domestic revolution within the nation of Iran then go further deeps into the cultural tension she faced in the foreign country of Austra. The text demonstrates a profound connection to the issue of our society and conveys the ideas to promote the fulfillment of gender equality, freedom of religion, and global society…etc.

We accomplished several assignments on this unit in order to demonstrate a solid understanding of the text and the further ideas that tie into the world. We accomplished 3 discussions on different topics about the text on a weekly basis to view the text from different points of view. It helps us to develop a better understanding of the intention of the writer to utilizes such techniques to convey the ideas of the text and encourage us to think in a more abstract way to fully understand the text. Moreover, we were able to take notes while reading the text from taking notes on the reading journal that is provided. It helps to document specific ideas with solid related evidence that correlates to the text and the ideas are further used in comparison with other works that are either literary or non-literary.

In this unit, I specifically focus more on the global issue of gender inequality in the text because I feel more touched when the writer emphasizes the prejudiced presented against women in the text. I believe this global issue is still vividly presented in the world but it has become better through the support of propaganda and demonstration of women’s strength to overthrow these prejudices. The conceptual questions that I learned throughout this unit focus on the cost of something in order to fulfill another achievement while in the text of Persepolis, it is the cost of Freedom and education to pursue of freedom in this world following with the impact of leadership within organizations or nations to be able to influence the populations as a whole.
