Persepolis Podcast: Recent Episodes
Connor and Ashleigh
In this podcast, Meghan and I discuss both of our short stories: The Escape and Aurora Borealis: An Unlikely Friend.
In this analysis of Persepolis, we analyze the chapter "The Makeup" with its themes of self-preservation.
We talk about Marjane's life crisis, as we have a life crisis trying to do a 30-second life summary. We also explore growth, anarchy, drugs, Marjane's gay boyfriend, and bad acapella summaries.
We look at the quote “Mom’s pessimism soon won out over Dad’s optimism. It turned out that the Iraqi’s did have missiles. They were called “scuds” and Tehran became their target”, and discuss opposites, culture, viewpoints, and fire-jumping festivals.
