Outline for Persepolis Paper
I. Introduction
A. Identify a Political Fiction
B. Describe it
II. Examples
III. How it comes into being (causes)
IV. Persepolis fights back
V. Consequences
VI. What I now understand

Remember from last time- We want to identify a political fiction in the text.
Then show how Marj confronts this Political Fiction and describe her resistance (with text samples). Also what are the consequences, (what is the result). Finally, what do you understand more clearly about how political fictions-particularly ones that have so much control- impact people’s lives
Identify = state it, describe it, give examples, explain how it came into being-causes.
