Hi Class,

Thanks to everybody for contributing so much to today’s class. I hope that you enjoyed the classic Rear Window!

 

I barely got to the introduction to Satrapi’s Persepolis: 

It is a first person graphic memoir that follows Marjane Satrapi (the author) through her self discovery, from her childhood to young adulthood, from 1980 to 1994. The memoir begins in Iran during and after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Marji moves to Austria to further her education and then returns to Iran under emotional stress. This memoir is both personal and national, it is local and global.

 

Homework:

1–Read Persepolis—up to page 157 (up to the chapter titles “Soup”).

2–Review five “transaction” terms: Redemption, Revenge, Sacrifice, Justice, Forgiveness

3–Review film terms for lighting, especially shadows

4–Take Quiz 2. The quiz can be found on Blackboard.

 

The quiz is due by 2:30pm on Thursday, March 18

 

Best,

Prof. Scanlan
