I must say that I was a bit surprised after reading through the first part of the novel and the poems that were posted on the blog. I was shocked at the attitude of the Satrapi family. I guess I just believed the typical stereotypes that we all hear on the news about the people in the middle eastern countries. I couldn't believe that they were so forward with their beliefs and thoughts. i found it interesting that they were so in touch with the 'modern' world, while the world around them was ravaged and changed without consent.
The poems that were posted all spoke o the text as well. I think each had its own aproach, and addressed the 'good' and 'bad' aspects of war. I think that Satrapi thinks of the war as both good and bad in that she has her own beliefs about what should be happening and what should not be happening.
The first part of the book was interesting, and I'll be curious to see how it ends...
