Andrew asks many interesting questions, but the one that stood out to me was "What if Reza Shah accepted the requests of the Allied Powers and joined their side, would Iran have had more opportunities and more freedom?" It’s true that this question fits the "What if" question category along with the other questions Andrew asked. I believe that Iran would have had a revolution regardless of what the Reza Shah had decided. If he had agreed to form an allegiance with the allies, the allies would have asked for oil then or later on. I believe the only effect the decision would have on history would be the revolution starting a little sooner. Even if the Reza Shah had agreed to form the allegiance with the Allied Powers, Iran could have been invaded by Germany causing the same outcome as the first decision.
Marjane Satrapi conveys her strong messages by her different styles of drawing. Almost every panel has a unique quality such as detail of emotion, size of the panel, the ratio of one character to another character, lighting, and other qualities that help express her ideas. What qualities or styles stood out to you the most and why? Is their a specific page or panel that stood out to you the most? Explain. I think Satrapi’s torture panels are vulgar, violent, and disheartening, but successfully portray how horrible it was to be tortured during the revolution.
