Dear Parent or Gardian,
In response to your worries with the class reading a graphic novel, which is a necessary part of our curriculum for the students to read in English class, I am submitting this response. From my position as an educator, it is my duty to ensure that pupils have access to a wide variety
of literary works to read. In order for students to be challenged, familiarize themselves with, and engage in the variety of literature that is provided, it is essential that the school provides a wide variety of literary formats for students to read. These formats include comic books, picture books, and graphic novels. The school is strongly encouraged to provide these books for students. The creation of graphic novels is an essential component of literature for students, as it enables them to acquire a varied education in the field of literature.
Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi is one of the graphic novels taught in our school. A graphic
novel about a teen girl growing up in Iran during the Islamic revolution. Persepolis contains themes such as revolution, war, and self-identity. This story examines how individuals in Iran lived, particularly as a teen girl during a turbulent political period. Marjane Satrapi's autobiographical series of bandes dessinées Persepolis depicts her upbringing and early adult years in Iran and Austria during and after the Islamic Revolution. Persepolis is a reference to the Persian Empire's ancient capital.
