Evaluate Satrapi's use of form....

There were many ups and downs to using a comic form to inform about her childhood and her country when she was younger. First off, when using a comic form, you seem to be communicating than more than one type of person. You can get across to younger audiences this way. Also, her use of black and white were affective at showing, possibly, how she saw things when she was youonger, mundane and simple. The problem with this =, however, is that there were some very intense parts in the book like the bombings, in whioch maybe she should have added color or gotten a little more "serious" to make a point of how intense those specific times were. i guess, if you're just looking at it from her "childhood perspective", then it was a very affective way to get across how she saw it then. However, it did not depict the scene as accurately as it was (violent and bloody as hell). It toned it down which makes it seem like it's no worse than any other time in the story. I understand why she did it like she did but she just should have done SOMETHING different during the intense parts of the book so we, the audience, can see that there are some more sereious parts than others.
