Alluding to Controversy: When Pictures Speak Louder than Words.

Create a 4 page essay paper that discusses Alluding to Controversy: When Pictures Speak Louder than Words.
This essay analyzes that the five prophets she mentions fomented rebellions that made a difference to the way people think. They instigated new ways of thinking through the things they said, the behaviors they encouraged, the writings they themselves - or others about them - popularized, and the notions that started waves of debate and controversy in the world.
Because she places herself within the group of prophets, and counts herself of their number, Satrapi is saying that what she has to say about the position and status of women, the realm of education, the wearing of special religiously-defined clothing, and the closing off of entire countries because of a belief system, are things she cannot agree with. Page Six, and the specific frames where she depicts the prophets, therefore, are a passing hint at all the controversies aroused by the change of regime in her country that stirred in her, and others, the desire, and necessity of raising their voices. Satrapi’s protest is a mild one that can be given a number of readings: feminist, religious and political.
To summarize: all children undergo changes in their childhood: Satrapi’s was perhaps more radical than the alterations taking place elsewhere at the time. Her themes are unusual, incisive and - because of the graphic novel genre, simply enjoyable. Still, the novel carries a message that most readers will find unique and specific to her voice and circumstance, and her allusion to the prophets indicates a desire to be inclusive and ecumenical.
