Week 5 |Feb 12| The Graphic Novel

This week i read contract with God. I got a lot from it, mainly my religious views relating to the story but on a smaller level. I also could relate to the strong storytelling and characters he conveys. It keeps you hooked and wants you to see whats next. You can also learn about the artist himself by reading the comics, you can clearly make the correlation to how he grew up in new York city.

Will Eisner's comics are very detailed and well illustrated. He has a lot of gloomy imagery which pairs well with his storytelling. His graphic novel storytelling gives very good life lessons and keeps you interested in the outcome of the story.

I read another comic by Will Eisner called Fagin the Jew. What i got from this comic is that most of his comics are about characters that when choosing to refrain from Judaism, it comes with a great loss and the character most likely always returns to the community.
