The modernization of Marlane's family presents through the pattern of their blanket. These two blankets combine formed the pattern of the flag of United State which have a sense of rebellion since Iran does not allow western influence. I think Satrapi definitely drew this on purpose to show the readers the idea of private self and public self; publicly, citizens have to obey the religion rules. For example, by covering their body from head to toes but privately they might act differently. This has a direct link to 1984 where publicly Winston obeys the party's rules; however, privately he hated the party and has rebellious actions, for example writing in his diary and having a love relationship with Julia.

This panel captures my attention because of the pattern of the road. If you carefully look at the pattern, you should be able to see fire in which the cars are surrounded by it. Fire symbolizes chaos and war, this panel clearly displays the danger people are in because of the presence of war and the revolution (fire to the evil) and that is why they "flee northward, far from the Iraqi missiles." As shown, the fire is very strong in the bottom and gets less and less at the top: the cars are moving from the bottom to the top showing the less danger they are in as they move further from the bottom where fire is burning strongly.

Great effort- wonderful ideas!
ReplyDeleteI really like your idea here Fion its really interesting how you identified that the american flag is a sign of rebellion. Also I thought your link to 1984 was really good because they both have two sides to them, one they show the world and one they only share with themselves.
