The book i have been assigned is “Persepolis”. I have attached a PDF of the book The main purpose of this assignment is to have you apply terms and concepts from the class to a culture other than your own. You will read a book or novel (fiction or non-fiction) that takes place in a “culture” other than one of your own. Culture can mean more than ethnicity or nationality. It may be age, gender, religion, economic level, etc. Explain how you see the culture in your book through the eyes of our class. In other words, choose terms and concepts that explain what you notice about the culture. You will write a 3-5 page paper (double-spaced, 12 pt. font, separate cover page) in which you apply class concepts/terms to the culture, using them to explain the culture. Do more than simply mention the terms. For example, the family in the culture is extended in terms of U.S. definitions, but perceived to be nuclear in terms of the culture’s perception. The above is a basic use of terms. To go in-depth, you should use the detailed information in the reading about the types of families to explain the family in the book more thoroughly
