Today we developed thesis sentences for Persepolis using the 3-part thesis form. Post your thesis sentences here.
Although the novel Persepolis by Marjane Sarapi uses graphic to tell her story, once inside the novel one loses oneself in the "colorful" illustrations often wishing for a more traditional narrative style, because the form interferes with one's ability to ignore or forget the perils and tragedy of Marji's war.
Although Iranian heroine Marji begins her story with a certain naivete, son she comes to realize neither God nor Uncle Anoosh or Grandmother is going to save her, she has to save herself, because Persepolis is falling.
We then took one of the thesis sentences and developed a 3-part essay: thesis, antithesis, synthesis. Post this here as well.
Lastly, we read aloud another student essay. Bring your Persepolis essay to class on Thursday to share with the class. Bring a paper copy--I want to make copies for your classmates.
Make sure you include the outline and the Initial Planning Sheet.
