How the drawings in the book add to the story.

In my opinion, drawings in the book is important because picture is a totally different way to describe thoughts to compare with words. Words can show us the feeling and scenes in an indirectly way. But pictures and drawings can show us the things that author wants to tell us directly. For example in the ancient time when humans create words in the front time. The early words we called, hieroglyphic, it's just the words which use the model of drawing. So drawing is the original version of words. For example the content in book Persepolis, when Majane talks about the veil that the women in Iran have to wear. There are some differences between different woman to wear veil, she tells us that only the women who wear veil for a long time can see that differences. The differences are about the different hair style of different women. It basiclly like the same if people look at them from outside of the veil, but the women who wear veil a lot can see the different hair style under veil. If we only use words to describe it, people will feel confused about the content. Because you can't imagine the scene so clearly only through words. But if we put drawings at here, people will know and understand it clearly and directly. Another example is about the Majane's God in Persepolis. If we only use words to describe God, let's see. You can not imagine and know what kind of god that Majane has. How he looks like? What's the scene that Majane is with him? We can't know them only from the words. But in the book Majane uses the pictures. It shows us the God looks like a kind old man. Then we understand all. Also Majane draws something different that can tell us the feeling and specific things that she has. The God of Majane is all white, and look like a kind old man. He looks like a total human, but in some way he doesn't look like that. He looks like a total human we can see that from the scenes that he was with Majane. Such as stand, hug and sit on the chair that close to Majane's bed. It doesn't look like a god used to be like. But in some way the God doesn't look like a real human because he is all white. This specific thing can show us the kindness and pure the God has.
