Love is blind

As the audience, we are given insight into the intentions of the characters that those in the story do not. Macbeth is enamored  with his wife and does not see the power hungry woman that we do. Lady Macbeth is manipulating her husband and calls herself "manlier than most men", both of which the audience sees but Macbeth does not.

Meet Macbeth

Macbeth is not initially introduced right away. We are given insight into his persona through descriptions given by Sergeant and Duncan. Macbeth is characterized mostly through indirect characterization, through his actions and beliefs. An example of this is when the Three Witches tell him of his future and he doesn't seem too happy with his destiny of becoming thane.

Seeking Mentor

My mentor would have to be able to teach me how to tell a story in so little words and to utilize literary techniques such as tone and characterization through drawings rather than writing. They would show me how much detail to put into each panel without overdoing it or making the picture too distracting.

I would hope for them to tell what areas I need to work on, whether it is my art, writing or story telling skills.

Is there an expert in the house???

For my masterpiece, I suppose any artist would be considered to be an expert. We need to be able to find someone who to able to convey a deep message with little words and a picture. I would like for them to give us tips on how to structure our comic panels and create an interesting way of telling a story.

This is only a test

For my masterpiece, I want to draw(pun lol) inspiration from various style of comics. I'm unsure whether our people would be drawn in a western or eastern style or even cartoonish. Ashley and I need to look at different example and figure out how to plan this efficiently.

Literature Analysis #5: The Great Gatsby

Plot:
Nick Carraway moves to New York with the hopes of becoming a bonds salesman and finds himself living next to party enthusiast, Jay Gatsby.

Theme:
I believe the theme of the book is the lie of the American dream which states to be happy you need a good house and enough money to love by. As depicted in the novel, Gatsby has both of these things and yet lives in an illusion of happiness. His happiness can only be achieved by being with Daisy which is impossible.
