Almost forever by Maria Testa is about a girl named Maria who runs away from the war with her family during the Nazi war. They survived in a government town where the people there look normal to Maria. She is glad to be safe but she only wants to be safe with her father, who went to the war to fight the Nazi's. All she wishes is to be with her father and to make sure that he is safe and not hurt or injured. This story motivates me because she told her story in a poem form. All authors who tell their story do not use it in poem form. This I can try to cnnect with Persepolis because Marjane Satrapi, the author of her true story, has written her story in comic form. I think these two authors try expressing theirselves and doing something that no author has done before when they make their story. What do you think abut writers or authors who tell their story in different forms?
Great blog Samnang!
ReplyDeleteyea
ReplyDeleteis good to compare two books and you explain the books well also
ReplyDeleteSamnang, nicely done! You created a good comparison between the two books. You looked at the craft of the author or the way they string words/stories together. Persepolis is the first graphic novel I ever read and I have to say her style captured the intensisty of her story. I agree with you that both authors have shown distinct styles.
