This written task focuses on the study of literature and aims to understand the attitudes and values expressed by literary texts and their impact on readers.
In order to achieve this aim, I have decided to make a private journal entry, published online, by Marjane Satrapi’s father after he witnessed the incident between a widow and a crowd of people who had blamed the death of the widow’s husband on the Iranian King which can be found in page 32 of the Persepolis book and the second after. I have chosen to a journal entry published online as it will allow me to make a critical analysis on the historical and social context of an incident in the story through Mr. Satrapi’s views of the incident as a left-wing supporter, therefore showing insight into his personal attitudes and values towards the conflict within Iran. Also worth noting is how Mr. Satrapi’s opinions could be a reflection of the author’s expressed personal values, in that case then the journal entry is my interpretation on the author’s attitudes and values. I will also add user comments on the bottom of the website in which I will analyze the impact of a literary text on readers who are reading about the incident from Mr. Satrapi’s point of view.
The written task is in the form of a journal entry in which the target audience will be Mr. Satrapi himself. Thus, I will use informal diction to create authenticity. The journal entry will not follow any text conventions since it is a personal piece of text, but it should include the date in which the entry was written in to indicate the time period which could help provide context to the journal entry.
