Day 2, Question: Katrina

In both texts individuals find themselves in very difficult, repressive environments, and each finds some level of inner peace and freedom through creative expression. In True Notebooks the boys find release through writing and sharing their writing with others, and in Persepolis the people in the community have secret parties with lots of music and dancing. Through these acts subcultures, or societies within societies, are formed to offer each individual an escape from a turbulent world.

When you get stressed out or frustrated, what do you do to find inner peace and freedom? Does this connect in any way to a subculture? If so, describe in significant concrete detail the subculture and the benefits you've received from joining this group.
