Sandman By; Neil Gaiman

I found the sandman to be interesting and entertaining . It was confusing at times with the constant change of scene , but I was able to follow it after getting a sense of what was going on. What I enjoyed the most is also what confused me the most . the final panel . I was very confused at first not knowing where it came from , but then I realized that the entire thing is maybe supposed to come off as a a very vivid dream. when you think you have  woken up but in reality are still sleeping.

Latino USA

What a piece! Ilan Stavan's foreword of Latino USA: A Cartoon History is the most descriptive piece of writing we have read this semester. At least I think so. Although I found myself not being familiar with quite a few of the words he uses, I actually enjoyed reading the piece. Stavan’s doesn't wait long to express his feeling towards those who belittle comic strips. His sarcastic tone constantly shines through the text. One sentence I like in particular “this bastard nature of pop art, which supposedly underlined the abysmal ignorance of the masses...”  His strong, vivid and specific word choice is what makes this piece so fun to read. His writing style is one I would like to try to emulate. As for the actual topic, it was a very interesting way to look at a culture. Through the works Stavan's says are read by the people, the readers get a glimpse at what the culture is like, what the people there are like.
