LIVE BLOGGING PERSEPOLIS

Hello world! Today, I will be watching Persepolis while also, during certain intervals, live blog moments of the film.  This will be done in the comments of this post, and they may be things I find interesting to point out and potentially compare to the book!

Persepolis: Important Panel

In my opinion, the most important panel from today’s reading is the second one on page 151. While looking at her own reflection in the mirror, Marji is saying to herself, “I will always be true to myself.” She is already aware that she has to go to Austria, and what she says is the last piece of advice that her grandmother gave to her, as well as her father afterwards, before she left off. She has done what she believes was right such as calling out her religion teacher on teaching them lies. The fact that the “be true to yourself” was repeated may have been done purposefully. The moment she tells herself that encapsulates the moment since her life is about to have a drastic change so they must all make sure she must never forget who she is.

SUNDAY FUNNIES 3: VISUAL NOTE TAKING

Sunday Funny 3

I chose to take visual notes for my Statistics class. I often do a bit of visual note taking outside the margins of the paper, as a visual aid since visuals serve as a different medium of learning. Although, I did find being more heavy on the visuals an interesting task. I do believe that rather than just text, anyone taking notes would benefit greatly from any sort of visual (to an extent) that reflects the original text since it uses a different thought process which can help to retain information.
