Tracing Persepolis: The Journey
After nights of hunched backs, black knuckles, and furious typing, I have completed my first draft of my project, Tracing Persepolis: A Journey.
My goal for this project was to get the idea of Marjane’s coming of age across– from fierce idealist, adamant on becoming the next Prophet, to unsure adolescent, torn between keeping the image her parents had of her or keeping the only friends-turned-family she has in Austria. I worried that it would take so long to write 750 words but the maximum word amount breezed by as I was reaching a thousand, to even 1500 words. After revisions, I hope my argument can become clear, cohesive, and characteristic of my work.
Here is David’s original post for our project.
Good luck!
