Graphic Novel questions

1014, #1
In the first graphic novel, the illustrations seemed to be a little underwhelming. The illustrations in the first graphic novel did not convey a very illustrative, interesting take on the novel, however the second graphic novel took a more creative path to illustrating the novel. Moreover, the second graphic novel is more interesting to read and there is a sense of motion as if it is like a moving picture or a movie. Finally, the second graphic novel is much more successful and interesting than the first.

I think that both Kafka and Kuper are very sympathetic towards Gregor. Kafka is of course sympathetic towards Gregor because the whole story is written describing Gregor's thoughts. Kuper is also very sympathetic towards Gregor through the way he has illustrated him. Gregor seems to have the exact face as he had had as a human, therefore Kuper shows seeming respect towards Gregor. 

Long overdue blog for leaderless discussion

The leaderless discussion was a really great experience especially when wanting to understand the creativity and different thought processes of other classmates. The group dynamic seemed to work very well since the discussion did not end until time was up. I really enjoyed the leaderless discussion especially for the purpose of hearing what my other classmates thought about a topic, and if we thought similarly or differently. Therefore, a good group dynamic seemed easy to be easy to achieve and it was interesting to develop our ideas through the comments of others.
