Readings that I liked and disliked

I liked reading short stories the most because I was able to read them a couple of times to fully understand them. I liked "The Man From Mars," "The Rudy Elemenhurst Story," and "Pet Milk," because they were really easy to understand and I could picture it well in my head. I liked the comic book, "The Watchmen," because it was my first comic I've fully read. It was a great comic book with lots of symbols, which I enjoyed discussing in class. I Liked the Tupac poems because I have been listening to Tupac forever. I have never read his poems though, and I thought it was good because now I understand what the lyrics in his songs actually mean. I didn't enjoy reading some of the poems because they were hard to follow, but I always have trouble anaylzing poetry. I thought the overall selection of readings were good, and I wouldn't change them.

WATCHMEN

My experience reading The Watchmen was similar with the author of this piece. It was the first comic I have read also. I have started reading other comics but could never finish them, unlike The Watchmen. I would stay up reading late night, much fatigued, yet I could not put the book down. Similar with the author of this piece, I caught myself looking at the photos more than reading the words. I would picture the photos like I was actually there, and I could feel the characters' emotions. I loved reading this comic and the gruesome images. This comic reminded me of the movie X-men with all of the super heros. I would recommend this comic book to everyone, even if they didn't enjoy reading comic books to begin with. Thanks for sharing this comic book with us.
