In this response I will evaluate U.S. foreign policy through the lenses of Nixon’s China policy, Carter’s emphasis on human rights, and Reagan’s attempt at regime change in Nicaragua. I argue that Nixon’s success and Carter’s and Reagan’s failures were contingent on both the intent of the policy and the response of the country from which the policy was attributed.

Although Persepolis holds true aspects, keeping in mind Marjane’s story is an interpretation is vital. Understanding Persepolis as a graphic art form conveys the general idea of the story as a whole.

There are several similarities between Marjane Satrapi’s graphic novel, The Complete Persepolis and Scott McCloud’s graphic novel, Understanding Comics. Scott McCloud stresses the importance of amplification through simplification, and Satrapi uses this technique in her memoir. The simple images Satrapi uses shows how her time in Iran was depressing and historic. Often in Persepolis, the figures look similar to one another by faces and clothes.
