Your assignment is to prepare and submit a paper on text and image interactions in hybrid narratives. The author utilizes poetry, images, and proses to assemble different perspectives on the life of Billy the Kid, and explores the craft that shaped his life. These include machine guns, a camera, and a pencil. The two books are hybrid narrations, where texts and images are integrated into different ways to make a captivating story, in making the reader more involved in the narration as compared to the use of text alone. In both cases, there are the themes of war and courage in resisting changes, presented through images and texts. Therefore, the use of text and images in these hybrid stories helps in creating an audience’s perspective, away from the perspective presented by the author, and making the reader more involved in the narration.
Satrapi (3) introduces the story by presenting the images of Marjane, and her classmates in wearing veils. To reinforce this Satrapi explains, “This is me when I was 10 years old. This was in 1980” (Satrapi, 3). The use of text alongside this image provides the audience with the actual picture of Marjane after the Islamic revolution of Iran in1978, and the effects of the revolution, in enforcing all students to wear veils. In addition, Satrapi presents an image to explain how the revolution occurred, symbolizing a change by mass actions by the general public in favor of having an Islamic State, away from Shah’s rule that inclined much to the Western ideals. especially towards America, “two families who had been imprisoned by the Shah for communist learning, and tortured by CIA agents were released under Khameini” (Satrapi, 49-50). Satrapi (3) has used images to portray how life was before this revolution and the disparity that existed among the students in schools, before the revolution. Without these graphics, the reader may not accurately figure out how the veils changed Marjane, and others who did not .know the meaning of a veil.
