Wow, did I totally forget about this...
Yes, I know these were supposed to have been done by Monday... oops?
Satrapi/Persepolis: I think that in this one case, a graphic novel was a very effective way of presenting the story that Marjane wanted to tell. Honestly, I usually hate graphic novels (as well as illustrations, movies made from books...) because I feel that the images detract from what the words are saying, and I can always imagine cooler things than people actually draw, but I liked the stark black and white representation as a counterpoint to the narrative. I expected to hate Persepolis and was a little bitter about being forced to read a comic book, but it was a nice break from all my other reading this quarter.
Satrapi/Moraga: I feel like Satrapi's analysis of her relationship to her family and country was a lot more detached and academic than Moraga's, as though she has more distance from it. Otherwise, though, each goes through the process of individuating themselves and claiming their identities. The trappings are different, but the developmental process is the same.
Creative Project: The form is poetry mixed with images. I was going to do a lot more collage-poetry pairings and make things a bit more artsy than they've really turned out, but 25 units=evil and I haven't had enough time.
Creative Project Assignment: Dillon's assignment for me was to keep track of my time, in detail, for three days. My conclusion? My life sucks. (Well not really, just this quarter.) Between work and school, the three days I chose (Sunday through Tuesday) involved very little sleep, one 10.5 hour day at work, one 10 hour day on campus, and a 12 hour day on campus. Yuck. My response was to write a poem for my creative project.
See you all later this morning.
