WEEK ONE: Wordless Comics (3 points)

WEEK ONE: Worldless Comics
this week ill be analyzing my reaction to The Comic Book History of the Comics
my reaction to the book was something I didn't expect. I didn't know at all that there was material like that available for people who wanted to know more about comics and graphic novels. when I started my reading I realized that the format was very peculiar and I have to admit that I didn't like it at all. I felt there was a weird way to demonstrate the value of art using really bad art. I had many problems in the war the book was the layout and structure. also, the way the events were described was really unsatisfying and sometimes confusing. I have to admit that even though there is a lot of problems from my perspective with this material I did learn a lot. it was a very creative way to inform the reader about the history of comics and probably one of the best ways to do it. I don't think there is a better material to learn from and get involved. this is not because of the amazing quality of it but because there is just no competition.

I choose to read the sandman by Neil Gaiman. this piece of literature was a very interesting one to me, it treats one of my favorite subjects of the human mind and gives us a very interesting introspective view of the dreamworld and the entities that ruled this fantastic world. I dead two volumes of this series, volume number one preludes and nocturnes and volume 2 the doll's house. in one we have the

WEEK 3 the comic strip (4 points)

 This week We read the Smithsonian collection of comics. These comics were very different to what I was used to read. there was many different subjects that were exposed and represented in a very unique way. these comics help me understand a wider representation of the society at that time. the vision in matters of roles and races where really different to what we have in the modern society. is difficult to be specific about this week reading because the comics were very short and also threading many different subjects at the same time. it was sincerely interesting and very eyes opening on the how much potential comics have to tell a story of deal with a specific subject, and how influential can be to our society. there was definitely an era of experimentation where the limits of the comics stand. this time was very important to explore what was going to be the reaction of society with comics and how intense was going to be their influence on people of all ages and ethnicities. from th
