Week 11

Going further into the class, the readings are becoming longer and longer. Choosing to read Alice in Sunderland became quite the task, it had so much text to read that was extremely small for the panels themesleves. That being said, what drew me in at first was the two pages with some quick pencil drawings, like a storyboard. And the fact the white rabbit appears in the third page, bringing those that know the story of Alice in Wonderland deeper into reading. With it's dialogue introducing classical stories and people and/ or character references created this whirlwind of information which to some, can confuse and disorient the reader. The imagery is what really drives a story, the chosen style in which to illustrate was beautifully realistic in a sense and the moment s were so graceful it was easily to under the movements and see them as if a film were playing before my eyes, although in these pages it was extremely difficult to focus on something for so long without straining my eyes. Each panel was filled with such immense detail that i had to pull my eyes away before finishing a panel only to feel the same way every next panel. So much was happening I could hardly keep up with the pacing without losing interest.
