    Warm air and the sickly sweet smell of the swooning cherry blossom trees. This is the place where I grew up, where I took my first steps, said my first words, and had my first haircut. As much as I hate small towns, without growing up in Madison I don’t know where or what I would be doing right now. In both books The House on Mango Street and Persepolis the main characters had to deal with growing up in a slightly damaged society but they managed to push past it, just like everyone else who has struggled with a past but not brave enough to write it down.

    ...rchal values, women have equal access to jobs, and a man's job does not determine where the women live. Many other feminist values of the later 60's early 70's are characterized by the Anarres utopia; there is no emphasis on physical beauty, women do not have to reshape or decorate their bodies (i.e.) women don't shave their body hair and little or no jewelry is worn. Along with the many feminist values anarchism values are also employed in Leguin's utopia. Anarres was built on the protest and revolution against centralized government. The view that, "most of humanities problems came from living under governments" was prevalent thought out the entire novel. Urras was perceived and quoted as "HELL" by people on Anarres. The overall theme "a man can not be free while living in the walls (or rules) of government underlies and structures the entire novel.

  • What Is The Difference Between Watchmen And Persepolis

    1341 Words  | 3 Pages

    Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Watchmen, and Persepolis all question what is right and what is wrong while still balancing the duality of the two. They make you wonder who the bad people really are and if the supposed good people are actually good. With the utilization of icons and color, they also emphasize the ever-present question of morality and human life. Batman utilizes duality and creates closure to show that there is always another side of the coin and all you have to do is flip it to see it. Watchman uses character development to build tension in the narrative and create duality in the characters and their moral codes. Persepolis uses a child's view of the world to present a childlike sense of justice and right and wrong.

    I believe viewers are more likely to communicate upon the works of the Guerrilla Girls with one another in society when they take on a more comedic approach. This investigation has examined the Guerrilla Girls through direct connection to the inequalities of power over women in the art world. Several themes were highlighted within society that reinstated these cultural norms of gender and sex within the institutions of art. With a variety of forms used by the Guerrilla Girls to redefine women's identity in history, they were able to break down such barriers that stood in the way which denied the prosperity of female artists.

    The markers of cultural difference that I have analyzed in book Persepolis are Gender Roles and government politics. Persepolis is a story by Marjane Satrapi, a young girl who grew up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution in 1979. During this time period, many cultural and social inequalities took place.

Persepolis conveys a unique graphic style of Satrapi’s narrative. “In black and white, Satrapi represents her own child...
