-McCloud was trying to get people to think outside the box and really challenge you. McCloud shows you how our mind has you think and see something that really is there, we mostly try to always make thinks look like face. Also how we get sucked into cartoons because the leaser details of them attract us.

            Before Reading

-When I was younger I liked the cartoon Aladdin, I think I connected with it because the simple face that he became more then what he was, he became more then what others thought he would amount to.

            QA

-By McCloud using the comic book way, he showed exactly what he wanted the readers to get. And his point would have suffered if he didn’t do it this way because then the reader wouldn’t got what McCloud meant other wise, because then you wouldn’t got to see the step by step motion of it.

-I believe it is true that we wouldn’t get the message if he were more realistic. But I don’t believe that we fill the cartoon people with our own personality, because of the lighting bolt on his shirt and his big-rimed glasses I took him to be a nerd like characters off Big Bang Theory. So I don’t believe we make them out own personality.

            Applying and Exploring Ideas

-I think it can go either way with using visual images more, because some lessens can go well with it and others it wouldn’t it all depends on the subject at matter pretty much. And I think a lesson that would benefit from it would be for one, it would help some people understand better then others because of there learning methods. And two, certain areas like what McCloud wrote on needed it to have visual or you more likely couldn’t understand it other wise.

            Reflection

I feel like as in Greene McCloud is challenging people to think about thinks that they never realized before even though its part of our everyday life’s. We never think how an argument is going to continue even though were gone or that our brains automatically see things certain ways.

            Synthesis

Iv never broken it down and thought about all of it that way till now, it makes you really think and wonder. He has some good points but certain aspects of his thoughts I didn’t agree so much on, because I don’t believe that we reflect the cartoons as ourselves.
