Free Style- Blog 15

I am also in Writing 131 right now. We are talking about Comic Strips and I found it very interesting that we are reading this book at the same time that we are talking about Comics in that class. We actually talked about this book also; I guess they might be making a movie about this book; I'm not quite sure but that is what I heard. We watched the trailer on the movie for Persepolis and I found it to be very interesting in how they are going to make this movie. It is actually going to be a lot like the book in the fact that it is going to look like a Comic Strip and not just an animated movie. I think by doing this, they will get a certain point across. I think it will grab the attention of a very broad group of people and will have a different kind of response compared to another typical movie. But overall, I just found this book to be interesting to read. I have never read a comic book, only comic strips. So I saw a different kind of reading and I can now see why so many people enjoy comic books. They don't have to explain in words how the characters feel, they show you with a simple picture. Pictures are worth a thousand words, and how better to explain a feeling then to show it rather than trying to put it in just the right words.
