Values

A few of my most important values:

  1. Kindness
  2. Honesty
  3. Loyalty
  4. Ambition
  5. Empathy

The graphic novel, Persepolis, has an extreme sense of honesty to it as an autobiographical work. The author's telling of her past feels extremely real and shows a raw version of her life - flaws, mistakes and all. Marjane Satrapi  does not work to cover up the unruly moments of her past, but instead uses them to construct a believable world that we can further empathize with. Herself as a character is not portrayed as a hero, but rather a person just like anyone else placed in the particular circumstances that life has thrown at her - it is this that seems to shine through in regards to the value of honesty.
