Like many of my friends have said, American Born Chinese was a much easier read due to its use of color, humor and relative storytelling, even though it addressed a serious issue in American society. #ENGL157

American Born Chinese is such an interesting book. I wish I had the opportunity to read it a little earlier in life. #ENGL157

Reading Kings of Disguise is the first time I have learned about the Great Depression from a source other than news and articles. This has helped me broaden my perspective on the economic crisis. #ENGL157

Going into reading Kings of Disguise, I had no idea what to expect. But I must say that I like what I have read until now. #ENGL157

Fun home has made me realize one thing ‒ all families are unhappy in their own way, one way or another. #ENGL157

Okay! So even though this tweet is more than a year old and we still have no solid news, this is what I found in my research on Alison Bechdel's Fun Home. #ENGL157

Reading some of the reflections this week made me realize that I had missed out so much during the reading of Fun Home. Not sleeping enough when reading does that, I guess. #ENGL157

I found this really interesting video of Alison Bechdel drawing herself. #ENGL157

Marjane Satrapi told Emma Watson in a Vogue interview that she used black and white art in Persepolis so readers could concentrate more on the plot and thought that it was the best for the rhythm of the reading for the graphic novel. #ENGL157 vogue.com/article/emma-w…

Woah! I watched the animated movie for Persepolis after one of my friends mentioned it. I couldn't help but be amazed at the movie's design that faithfully followed the artwork of the original graphic novel. Bravo! #ENGL157

Maus II was an excellent read. I felt a strange sense of connection to the story's characters and the traumatic events that happened. I can't believe these events took place in real life. #ENGL157

In Maus II, Art Spiegelman continues the story of his father-son relationship by telling the story of his parents' arrival at Auschwitz and their liberation. I learned how Art's parents' experiences influenced his life. #ENG157

In his video, Nerdwriter goes through a page of Maus, using it as a launchpad to move on to the wider art and craft of comic book page design. I really learned a lot from watching the video. Wish I could learn to be as critical and articulate! #ENG157 youtube.com/watch?v=1dQEfL…

Maus really opened my eyes to the pain that Jews had to go through. Reading it felt like I was there experiencing the story myself. The narration of Speigelman's art and writing was just that good.💯 #ENGL157

After this week, I feel that Stuck Rubber Baby is a highly intricate graphic novel that shines due to Howard Cruse's art and powerful narration of a significant era in American social history through the lives of everyday people on the edge of social acceptance. #ENGL157

I recently realized that when Howard Cruse wrote Stuck Rubber Baby, it was considered risky for white authors to write about African-American characters, specifically those that were actively engaged in the civil rights movement, but Cruse went on and did it anyway. #ENGL157

Studying the masterpiece from Howard Cruse was an eye-opening experience! Stuck Rubber Baby has opened up a totally new genre for me. #ENGL157

Bitter Root was a great reading and I really liked reading it, and also reading my class mates reflections was fun! #ENGL157

The adventure at Ayers Rock in Australia was a great captivation for me. I was completely submerged in the story. This is pure brilliant work from Ellis, Cassaday and Martin. #ENGL157

'The Four' just can't help being wicked; greed is pure self-destruction for sure. #ENGL157
