Reading Graphic Novels: Level Up!

A guest speaker came to talk about how to read graphic novels. It was valuable to help understand Persepolis as she explained the subtle representations of certain motifs or literary features presented in each panel. She also explains the different techniques graphic novels use, using the example of Watchmen: Jon Osterman, better known by his alias Dr. Manhattan, steps into a worn down, deserted, cob-webbed bar and remembers decades ago, the same bar, yet filled with people and in prestine condition, where he met his first love, Janey Slater. This scene portrays time and how fast it seemingly goes, through Dr. Manhattan's eyes since he got his superpowers.
