A.D. & Persepolis are both graphic representations of personal experiences. A.D. reveals the stories of a select group of people during hurricane Katrina. Their tales involve evacuation, living through the destruction, unwillingness to leave, disease, displacement, and much more. Marjane Satropi's Persepolis deals with an entirely different struggle. Her interview offered personal feedback from her and how and why she depicts her tales through graphic novelization as well as insight into how she became involved in animation.
I found A.D. to be an interesting and creative look into the tragedy of hurricane Katrina. I loved how it displayed more than one point of view. Even though A.D. was merely a graphic novel, I got the same impact from it as I would get from a real live news report. I also found the the Marjane Satrapi interview to be very enlightening. I now feel like I have a better understanding of how she views the world around her.
Questions I would ask the the author of A.D. are if they had known any Katrina victims personally or if they are from Louisiana themselves. If I could of asked Marjane Satrapi a question as her interviewer, I would ask if it is difficult to keep a 150 black and white graphic novel interesting and visually pleasing all the way through.
