According to Joseph Darda in his article "Graphic ethics: Theorizing the Face in Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis," graphic novels are an ideal space for “interrogating epistemological assumptions,” in other words, graphic novels are a great method to get an audience to question their own inherent beliefs and opinions when it comes to certain themes and topics (2013). This assertion is because graphic novels place “extra-textual demands on the reader” since they force a reader to look beyond the words in order to gather meaning.
For this summative, you will explore visual themes made in Persepolis as well as in either photography or your own illustration in order to deepen your understanding of the connection of text and image. You will complete parts 1 and 2 of this assessment using the format of your choice: Google Slides, Drawing, or Document.

“Janie and Logan got married in Nanny’s parlor of a Saturday evening with three cakes and big platters of fried rabbit and chicken. Everything to eat in abundance. Nanny and Mrs. Washburn had seen to that. But nobody put anything on the seat of Logan’s wagon to make it ride glorious on the way to his house. It was a lonesome place like a stump in the middle of the woods where nobody had ever been. The house was absent of flavor, too. But anyhow Janie went on inside to wait for love to begin…” (p.55)
“So Janie waited a bloom time, and a green time and an orange time. But when the pollen again gilded the sun and sifted down on the world she began to stand around the gate and expect things. What things? She didn’t know exactly. Her breath was gusty and short. She knew things that nobody had ever told her. For instance, the words of the trees and the wind. She often spoke to falling seeds and said, “Ah hope you fall on soft ground,” because she had heard seeds saying that to each other as they passed. She knew the world was a stallion rolling in the blue pasture of ether. She knew that God tore down the old world every evening and built a new one by sun-up. It was wonderful to see it take form with the sun and emerge from the gray dust of its making. The familiar people and things had failed her so she hung over the gate and looked up the road towards way off. She knew now that marriage did not make love. Janie’s first dream was dead, so she became a woman.” (pg. 57)
QUESTION: In the passage above, how does Logan’s house symbolize Logan and Janie’s relationship?

Ships at a distance have every man’s wish on board. For some they come in with the tide. For others they sail forever on the horizon, never out of sight, never landing until the Watcher turns his eyes away in resignation, his dreams mocked to death by Time. That is the life of men.
Now, women forget all those things they don’t want to remember, and remember everything they don’t want to forget. The dream is the truth. Then they act and do things accordingly.
