Violence Post - I think that violence for the most part is never a good idea. I think it rarely ever gets your point heard in the manner that you want it. I think violence is not an answer to anything and that there can always be a solution without resorting to violence. However, many people in our world think its the solution to their problems, and that is why our world is constantly fighting. I think its ridiculous that we have so many wars, we act like two year olds. "I want your land" or "I don't like what your doing, I think you're communists." The list goes on. I feel Gandhi used non violence extremely well, and was one of the most successful people we have read about this quarter.

Satrapi - I think the Satrapi's use of the form of a graphic novel helped me as a reader to see what she was going through. It helped to show me more of a visual picture and at some points it conveyed more of a message than just reading the words could do. I feel like the graphic novel helped to make the book more powerful and assisting to the reader.

Moraga - Moraga thinks her mother is a strong woman while she dislikes her dad and thinks that he is lazy. She is not very close with her dad, more so her woman. On the other hand, Satrapi loves both her parents and they are the foundation in her live. Both her parents are extremely supportive and helpful and they get along great although Satrapi doesnt tell her parents the complete truth and then they dont have an extremely open relationship established. Satrapi also hates her nation, because she is so confused and is unsure of who she is. Moraga likes her culture, but she hates the male dominance over the female in her culture.
