This is a lame entry, but it's all I got.

Images like the physical images on the page? Or like imagery (in literary terms)? Any particular images you're planning to focus in on?
I enjoyed reading Persepolis a couple of years ago (in fact I use your blog sometimes to pick out new books to try), so I'm attempting to follow along as much as my math-teacher mindset lets me!
Good luck with your observation!
The panels is what we analyze. Specifically, we focused on the bearded and moustached character she draws to represent England, who came and manipulated Reza, the ignorant war general. Satrapi draws the images all with the English guy towering over Reza, and leading him along, creating this puppet/puppeteer effect. It's pretty cool.
Students basically looked at each panel, jotted down their observations about how Satrapi drew it, and then hypothesized about the possible purpose for it.
