Refer to two specific pages and panels from McCloud's chapter, and two specific
pages/panels from Satrapi.
2. Persepolis and McCloud’s Chapter 4 (Time Frames)

her story? Refer to two specific pages and panels from McCloud's chapter, and two
specific pages/panels from Satrapi.
3. Persepolis and McCloud’s Chapter 2 (Show and Tell)
