2.	Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi's graphic novel about her childhood during the Islamic Revolution in Iran.

For a historical timeline for Iran consider:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran#Modern_Iran:_From_Pahlavi_to_Islamic_Revolution_.281921-1979.29

Try the exercise of 'working backwards" from Satrapi's graphic novel: using this page "The Veil" at

http://www.randomhouse.com/pantheon/graphicnovels/persepspread1.html

How would you reconstruct one or two paragraphs in text form to tell the same story? Re-order the information so it makes sense and does not say things like "see this picture of me at 10 years of age."
