After Thoughts About the Underground Comic

                    After reading the underground comics, I believe those comic were clarified as "underground" not only because of information they contain, it was the people starting to realize those kinds of thing should not appear in comic. Comics were mainly sold to children, and children should not be exposed to violence, sex, and drugs. They would terribly influence their unmatured minds.

After Thoughts About Maus

                   After reading the Maus again, I have new thoughts in mind. I have read Maus back in high school. When I was reading the book back then, I did not like it. It is a comic talking about the German holocaust-- presenting a cruel story only using such a "simple" medium. I believed the horrible and terrible things happened in that part of the world at that time, should have been presented with something that is more "complex" and more "matured". However, I changed my mind as I read Maus the second time. Spiegelman talks about his dad's (Vladek)story during the Holocaust. How has he "lived" through and how could he be alive.                    He used rats to symbolizing Jewish, used cats to symbolizing German, pigs as Poles, frog as French, and dogs as American. I believe these are a really good symbolization of the condition at that time. Predator and prey, cat hunts t...

After Thoughts about Battle Angel

               Battle Angel Alita is a Japanese manga series written by Yukito Kishiro. The theme of the manga series is Cyberpunk, which the human world has developed significant technological breakthroughs. Things, even human bodies, are hardly mechanized. The story happens in a post-apocalyptic era and the protagonist is a girl cyborg named Alita(Gunme), who has lost all memories and is found in a garbage heap by a cybernetics doctor. The doctor fixes and takes care of her. I like this manga series because Cyberpunk is one of my favorite styles of story. People are changed, and the world is difficult to survive. I love how advanced technology not only changes the human body parts but also changes the human mind. And the non-linear narration of the story is interesting. More and more threats are discovered, as she discovers her truth and memories. At the end it makes people think to whether the development of advanced technology is involvin...

After Thoughts of March

               Over the years living in the U.S, I have seen much differences. I am very sensitive to these differences mainly because I came from a conserved country, and In my mind, America is much more open. Besides that, I believe the greatest difference I felt between my country and the U.S is people in the U.S are willing to speak up for themselves. The book March is an example for that idea. The Civil   Rights has been a serious question for decays now. March is a comic talking about the early stage of the Civil Rights movement. The story is being presented through the perspective of the U.S Congressman John Lewis and the leaders of the Civil Rights movement. There are three volumes of March. They each talk about the same things but through a different person's perspective of view. That is a very interesting way of presenting a story because we can see how things can vary between different people with different identities.
