The Complete Persepolis: Translating Literature to Film Marjane Satrapi’s The Complete Persepolis is a coming of age memoir depicted in graphic novel form. Satrapi illustrates her life as a young girl growing into an adult during and after the Islamic Revolution in Iran with very little narration and simplistic dialogue. It is interesting to see how so little can be said, yet, so much can be conveyed. In comparison, the film representation of the novel uses a separate medium to depict the same story

could be different in the blink of an eye. That effects the simplest life. Little did Erin Vincent know this would happen to her. Just like an average fourteen-year-old girl she didn’t care about anything. All she wanted was to continue her acting career.
