Hilary Chute describes a “new” way to autobio writing. She refers to it as a “graphic novel.” I enjoyed her point of view concerning women and how she exemplified her article on “Persepolis.” This graphic novel tells a story about a young girl, Marjane Satrapi's, growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution in the 1980’s. She describes the way schools were teaching incorrect information to the young school children. It seemed almost as a way of brainwashing them. She talks about how she and many other women were forced to wear veils, and did not have many rights that as women in the USA would say we are entitled to. Hilary Chute talks about in her article that she is concerned why is it that many male novelists are named but why not the female novelists? Being a feminist, Hilary Chute declaims this in an attempt to open many eyes as where is the world today.

I honestly didn’t know much about the Middle Eastern culture, and I honestly try not become prejudice towards people of that region, but the way the media describes them it almost seems that the media is brainwashing us. After reading these articles I learned that the women were forced to wear the veils as earlier mentioned in the blog, and how serious was this Islamic Revolution, and how execution occurred like running water here in America. Lolz. Your family or anybody you knew killed for what they believed was right. Sound familiar? I wondered throughout the article what people from the Middle Eastern were told about us. How did they react to the war right now? Why is it that on the news all we hear is all the negative, what about all the positive things the people do to move on and try to live their lives as best as they can? It’s crazy how things are.
