Natacha's Blog!: Persepolis I
http://natsblog123.blogspot.com/2008/10/persepolis-i.html
Wednesday, October 29, 2008. How does conflict forge identity? In Persepolis, I feel like these people are happy to serve and die for their rights in the revolution. For example, on the first panel on page 31. we see the people carrying the body of a dead man killed by the army in the midst of the revolution. The man was carried by a crowd of people, whom were proclaiming him a martyr. These men were born to drill and die. The unexplained glory flies above them. Also,[comparing Persepolis and "War Is Kin...

Natacha's Blog!: September 2008
http://natsblog123.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 29, 2008. As I was reading The Bluest Eye, I was definitely confused on the beginning of it! I also wondered why there aren't any chapters. It was pretty creative though that these were the seasons that took place in the book and let my imagination roll on as to what the weather was like for these people in the book. 1) What is the continuos pattern of American Born Chinese? 2) What is the universality of Yang's text? 3) How are all the three stories in Yang's text similar? I picked Eme...

Natacha's Blog!: Gaiman vs. Shakespeare
http://natsblog123.blogspot.com/2008/11/gaiman-vs-shakespeare.html
Wednesday, November 19, 2008. Gaiman vs. Shakespeare. As I finished reading both Gaiman and Shakespeare's text, I saw a lot of differences including how they are written, the plots of the story, and the interpretation of the text. In my personal opinion, I liked reading Shakespeare's text better because it was the classic one, and it was more romantically themed! The graphics are great though, and they were cool to look at. I think they are both really good texts, but I liked the original better.

Natacha's Blog!: A Midsummer Night's Dream
http://natsblog123.blogspot.com/2008/11/midsummer-nights-dream.html
Friday, November 14, 2008. A Midsummer Night's Dream. I wanted to write about Hermia and Lysander because I find their situation complicated! It sucks that Hermia's father is making her marry Demetrius, when Hermia and Lysander are clearly in love. It's either that or death which is weird to think about because if you love your child so much why would you have him/her condemned to death by "disobeying" you? Weird (Shakespeare, Act 1 scene i). It's a "so close yet so far away" kind of thing! I agree, I th...

Natacha's Blog!: Poems about war
http://natsblog123.blogspot.com/2008/10/poems-about-war.html
Sunday, October 26, 2008. I read "War is Kind" by Stephen Crane (1899). I disagree with the poem. I don't think war is kind and that there's nothing you win out of it other than death and pain for others.and I think war gets you no where. In a multimodal sense, I can see a man wearing worn out clothes and carrying a gun, wounded, stumbling on the river with his hand on his heart and taking his last breath and falling dead to the shallow water. Because your father tumbles in the yellow trenches,.

Natacha's Blog!: December 2008
http://natsblog123.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 1, 2008. In this class, I have grown as a student by becoming more diligent and organized in my work. Upon receiving a paper that I knew I needed to revise eventually, I found myself doing it right away and looking through it again. Also, I don't think I missed any days in this class so it made me feel better knowing that I came every day as expected! My perspectives on the graphic novel as a literary genre has been challenged because I never read any of them until this class. I alwa...
