In Chute's article she talks about how she likes writing graphic novels. She believes that memoirs/ novels of the past is replaced by todays entertainment. The first thing that hit me or poped out was she wants to bring writing back. She wants to do this in the same way comics is doing it. One thing that Chute is not affraid of is showing and writing about violence and death. One thing I learned was that you dont have to be shy or up tight about writing about violence.
Now in the article, The Texture of Retracing In Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis it talks about a her life growing up in Iran. By this she uses pictures and also graphic and discripting words. One thing Marjane was is very religous. She wanted to be a prophet. Life was hard for her and Chute really talks about this.
1. Why do you like writing graphic novels/stories?
2. Has her pasts changed her outlook at life?
3. Why would to go out on a limb and writing with such violence?

I think people write about violence because that is something that has changed his or her lives so much that they can recall nearly every detail. The pains in life is what stick into the back of the mind which I'm not sure if it makes it to write about but it does seem as though that afterwards and the writing is said and done that a burden has been lifted from the shoulders.
