The theme that these two novels share is the theme of social class. They also share the theme of family history.
Both of these stories use framing and gutter to keep the graphics organized. They use graphic weight for majority of their story. For Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi darkens her characters to emphasize the story. For The Magical Life of Long Tack Sam, Ann Fleming has different colored pictures to show how it was in the past and the pictures in the present.
These stories are analyzed through the formalist paradigm because they interconnect by having similar themes and the authors both come together with their families to figure out their family history. the central message from these stories is that someone should always find out who they came from because they have impacted the family and made the author who they are.
The Magical Life Of Long Tack Sam has a theme of social class because since Long Tack Sam's family is of high class from Long Tack Sam being a famous magician, they got the privilege to travel the world for his job and have plenty of money.

Persepolis has a theme of social class because there are many characters that are viewed from different social class such as Marjane and her family, the maid, the women who's son got a key 'to paradise'.
