Today, i had a rehearsal for my theatre troupe and we have a song that we use to get ready for a show and it just gives us that extra boost to get going. The song is "Eye of the Tiger". This seems to have no relevance to Persepolis but indeed it does! on page 275 she becomes an aerobics teacher and the stereo is playing "eye of the tiger". T thought that was a little humorous.
I had actually been looking at this snippet this week because you can tell that Satrapi used "Eye of the tiger" for a reason. on the last panel of page 273, you see Marjane wanting to live her life to the fullest.Then from there ,if you know the song "eye of the tiger" you can hear the build up in the song and in the graphic novel you can see her build up to becoming the person she wants to be.So, the song and the panels match up quite well.

that's funny... the film does this scene really well--you'd like it.
