The Veil

Satrapi tells her story by using images and short descriptions in a comic book style, because it gives a little comic relief to the very serious situations that were occurring in Iran at the time. The drawings in the comic book look like she could have drawn them as a 10 year old child, allowing you to see her emotions and put yourself in her position. Especially with the drawings of her facial expressions. Even with words that are not too detailed you are able to follow what is happening with the help of the images.
