Persepolis vs. White

What is the significance of the point of view in which Maus is told vs. the point of view in which Persepolis is told?
The point of view in which Maus is told is through the son of the person actually experiencing the story. I do not believe this takes away any credibility from the story at all, I just feel while reading the story that it loses some of the "Wow" factor, if you will. Hearing the story, with the interruptions of the present day is an amazing way to tell a story, to remind the readers that this is a story being told from the son, hearing it from his father, but I feel as if there is something missing in the story when it passes through that middle person. The way Persepolis is told, directly from the pen of Satrapi fulfills the readers thirst for that feeling that they are actually in the story.
In the words of Hayden White, "So natural is the impules to narrate." In saying this, White brings to my attention how true this timeless statement is. Everyone loves to talk about themselves, or tell stories about things that happen to themselves, or loved ones. Both of these stories share that one strong common bond: The love the narrator has for the story they are telling. Satrapi loves telling her story because it is about her, and let's face it, who doesn't love talking about themselves. While in Maus, even though the narrator has a semi-strained relationship with his father, the reader can still detect the love he has for his father, and his story. He wants to get everything correct and do the story justice.
Both of these comics have extremely important stories to tell, despite the author. They both illustrate to the readers stories from events that are very rarely told anymore, because few survived, or just because the people involved do not enjoy talking about the hard times in their lives. Neither of these stories end or begin with an extremely happy ending, but both stories need to be told, because these events are extremely important in the history of not just people living in the Americas, but the entire world.
