Author: Marjane composed this text. She also composed how her family coped with how Iran was dealing with the hostage crisis.
Audience: The text's audience is assumed to believe that people should have an empathy to what Marjane was coping with the problems she faced, particularly those with education or family.
Statement: The text is saying that people have different problems and attitudes involving the U.S and send a message. It is supported by showing how hostage crisis in Iran showed little to no empathy.
Purpose: The purpose of this text is to show what people saw in Iran as a minor event. Marjane hopes to show what her family was going through and how they were dealing with it.
Point of view: Marjane adopts this from a 1st person point of view. What makes it evident is her eyewitness accounts of how the Islamic Revolution changed her country.
Historical influences: The historical influences I discern are when Marjane points out how Persia (now Iran) had faced war and rebellion for over 1400 years.
Text features: The features of this text are used in the style of a graphic novel and a memoir mixed together. The language features and appeals are evident and significant by showing how people in Iran or Europe have a different language barrier and how they can communicate with one another.
Text style: I would say the style of this text would be academic, hip, and formal.
Text tone: I would characterize the text's tone as serious, yet somewhat humorous.
Great job here! Now, can you examine a specific visual image and explain how the details of that image help the writer send a message to the audience? Thanks!
