The Iranian Revolution may not seem like the ideal situation for humour to be applied, but humour is seen often in Marjane Satrapi’s graphic novel Persepolis; a book retelling Satrapi’s childhood during the revolution. Although her story is littered with the tragedy and brutality of oppression and war, the horrors she experienced are often combined with funny moments that seem impossible in her situation. The premise of humour may seem out of place in a graphic novel about a terrible time, the…

imagine a more radical revolution than the Russian Revolution of 1917: the tzar was killed, the people and the Bolsheviks became the leaders, and centuries of monarchy turned overnight into Communism. A radical revolution is where the people who are uprising decide to revamp the social structure, and change the fundamental beliefs of the society. Their goals were “tearing at the bonds holding the traditional monarchical society” together. By contrast, a “common sense” revolution is where the…

Revolution does not always bring change. The revolution on Manor Farm changed only one thing: who had the absolute power. The ideals that spurred the revolution in the first place had been lost, and rather than changing the way life had been prior to the revolution, the animals were suppressed and taken advantage of by the pigs, who were the new leaders that had emerged after the exile of Jones. However, even with Jones gone, life did not change on the farm for the majority of the animals,…

Rebellion is the action or process of resisting authority, control, or convention.

repeats itself; Some believe that is true, and other believe it is false. The revolutions that are studied today have many things in common. For example, the Latin American and the French Revolution both lacked supplies, and the Haitian and American Revolution both had free blacks that weren’t granted their freedom, but what all of the revolutions had in common, were slaves. There were a lot of similarities between the revolutions, but there was also differences. Latin America had a dictator and…

As a child, the world to me was a place with elusive networks of dirt roads. The small, dirty, square shaped, concrete houses provided shade and comfort from the heat that bounced off the streets causing a mirage of wavering images. The streets were filled with honks from countless motorcycles and rickshaws. Hearing similar dialogues and accents as the people argued for cheaper pomegranates from the food stands located at the corner of the streets. This place of dirt networks, flat-roofed houses…

instead of a quick or immediate change. In a revolution, a slow change is more effective because you have time to plan for all the mistakes and problems that might happen during a change in government, while with a quick change you must spend time after the revolution is complete fixing the mistakes you didn’t account for resulting in a long drawn out revolution. We see that a long revolution is more effective and successful from the Cuban revolution. Slow change is more successful then quick…
