Graphic Memoirs Come of Age

I can relate to this reading a lot. Many people can be biased against comic books or books with imagery and automatically downcast its importance. It is somewhat like people comparing Japanese anime to american cartoon, or down playing Disney movies because it is created by technology and not with people acting physically. It seems as if people prevent diversity from expanding at times and force people to conform to their way the world should work, but that leaves it dull at the end.
She gave a great description about batman and the batarang. I can defiantly get more out of a picture at times than reading a whole paragraph of that one small event. Like they saying goes, a picture is worth a thousands words. Though actual words leave room for your own imagination to develop a graphic novel, or drawing can also bring in excitement, understanding what specifically the author wants to portray. This shows what the author is think and how they develop the story, rather each person have there own interpretation and then mis-tell or misunderstand certain parts, which i have seen many times.
Also comparing to Graphic Journies: Graphic novels read a couple of weeks ago, maybe people are better able to read and understand a story through images rather than a book full of words. It also allows a huge audience to to enjoy reading in a different way such as others like me, would rather stay away.

Woman Warrior

This reading was very different from previous ones. Due to the fact we are no longer reading folklore tales. Woman warrior was an interesting read because it focused on woman who were seen to go with whatever culture they were in and live that particular lifestyle. However, Kingston fights against it by being true to herself and her desires. Not to be a rebel but to be who she is. Even from my day to day life i always here some girl or woman complain or ask why cant i do this or that, or why should i have to do that. America is very independent but still puts its restraints on the female sex, as also with males. I say also males because there are many times i question the same things. Why do i got to take out the trash, open the door for her, or know how to fix a million things? They got two hands and two feet just like me. While i might be inwardly, Kingston expresses herself and what she thinks through the pen and paper. Explaining how the culture on girls differ, how sex and race plays a role, and what is learned from them. She gets angry as i have also gotten angry and irritated. Somewhat being forced to live by the worlds standard and conform.
 As in this reading, family can also play a role by conforming to the rest of society, whether American or Chinese such as in Kingston's place. I'm pretty sure this can also be said for the class and most my friends. due to so many ways of being tied down or being told what to do it can be hard for someone to be themselves.
I agree alot with the statements made about America. Its straightforward, orderly, very rationale and is always meant to make sense. Honestly, i like it this way. I have a very scientific, realist mindset.
Though i prefer american way of life and thinking i can appreciate Chinese culture. It is vibrant and imaginative. Full of wonders, stories, myths and heavily rich traditions. Learning about it would be fun and interesting, living; not so much. Anyway i can sympathize with Kingston's  desires to break out of the ordinary life both cultures represent and live her own drawing from both.
