Further Information about Approaching Essay #3 You've probably discovered this by now, but as a reminder to help you with your paper, below are some of the negative stereotypes that Satrapi examines in Persepolis. She states that many of these stereotypes come from religious “fundamentalism, fanaticism, and terrorism.” In the book, she addresses this in terms of:

1. Attire 2. Education 3. Parties 4. Rejection of Western pop culture 5. Martyrdom 6. Torture 7. Suppression of free thought and political dissidents 8. Suppression of women

As you begin working on your paper, consider the diversity of the characters Satrapi includes as part of her attempt to dispel the stereotype that everyone in Iran thinks and believes the same things.

Be sure to use both images and text in your evidence and analysis-- it is crucial that you acknowledge how these two work together in your body paragraph analysis.

Other Tips for Success: Take the writing process seriously: brainstorm, outline, draft, and revise. Give credit to any outside sources in both parenthetical citations and your Works Cited page. Remember that paraphrases and direct quotes must both be cited. Develop an opinionated thesis that answers “how” and “why”? Close read as much as possible—remember, you need to ANALYZE your evidence to prove your point. Develop an introduction that engages your reader’s attention, and a conclusion that explores the broader implications of your argument. Incorporate the feedback that you receive in the rubric of your previous paper. Consider using remote tutoring through the Writing Support Center for help at any phase of the drafting process.
