fun home chapters 3-7

On page 100 I asked myself was is there a picture of a semi naked guy, what was the meaning of having this here.
Books all over…kind of a mess…disorinting … feels like she is in the womb she is in the fetal postion.
Page 79 in the fetal postion talking to her family on te phone same book on th phone
With mycloud in mind why does she put the photoes in a completely different imagiry than the rest of the book? The less relaistic they are so we can put ourselves in them, so we can relate to them.

for spet 25

In chapter 5 I was impressed by how they showed how emotions are expressed in graphic novels. On page 126, McCloud uses different types of boxes to show emotion in different ways. However, I was really impressed with page 129 when the girl blows the boy a kiss to show how symbols work. Since symbols are frequently used in graphic novels, I was quite happy when this was presented.
On page 148 I like how different art is represented throughout different cultures and times.

last chapters of blankets

As in the first chapters, the last two chapters also are majority scene to scene. I really enjoy this style, it really allows the reader to be drawn into the story.
page 242 the style of the painting was scene to scene
I like how it was placed to the side, it really grabs a readers eye.
page 580 went out of the normal and was moment to moment, I think the reasoning was to make a dramatic ending, which was acompished very well.

first post on blankets

pages 34-35 seems to be moment to moment with the way the boxs are postioned and how he is panicing.
pages 38-39 really got my attention because it seems different from the way everything else is styled, it seemed as if it was scene to scene...I realy appreciated the way the words were written in the bottom of the boxs.
the first two chapters are mostly scene to scene.

yeay new book

Ok so i actually read this book the first day I bought it, and I loved it. So I am now rereading it and trying not to let the rest of the book effect my opinion.

The first two chapters where amazing I love how she brings her opinion about her father in right after his death. She als has a great way of wording thins, but I don't have the book on me at the moment to type an example, I will try to come back later and edit this entry.

I also like how she describes how close her family lives to her and how she shows it.

nest couple of chapters

Ok, so I have read the next chapters in "how to read comics," and I must say I have been very impressed by the amount of art work and they way things were written. So far the author has been very good at describing different types of comic books and they way they are written. However, even though many of his writings are interesting I still find them boring because a lot of this I already know, though, much of his writing is teaching me how to look at comic books differently and analize them.
In my dorm room I have a japenese anime book that I have read and I reread it and looked at it differently and I enjoyed the book much more.

yeay comic books

Ok so first off I love comic books and manga so reading this book was fun but also boring. This information is nothing new to me. But I liked how they put it in comic book style I thought that was a good idea. So this blog entry might be a little short because I really do not have much to say on the matter. The boring parts were the discripitve ones. I dislike when comic books are like that but atleast they have pictures to take your mind off the matter.
