When I was a kid, the only reason I ever touched the
newspaper was to read the comic section towards the end of the paper. As a
child growing up I used to enjoy how small these comics strips were and the
quantity of several different comic strips. I guess what attracted me to these
strips were probably the formatting of the news paper ( which went something like
Local news, world news, business news, gossip columns, technologies and finally
a page of funnies and comics). After reading Little Nemo in slumber
land, I realized that all those comic strips were addressing some serious goals
in our society but with a twist of humor. I had honestly never read Little Nemo
before this reading assignment, however, as I read this comic strip, I could
not help but get more engrossed in it. Little Nemo in the slumber land address a
lot of of the socio economics issues
that were faced by the society as well as how parents brought up their kids. For
example when little Nemo woke up from one of his dreams with a scare, his father walked in an scolded
him to go to sleep. Sure at first its first and I did snicker thinking this
little kid. But the important issue it
addresses is that kids are affected by their surroundings, and little Nemo had
a scary dream probably because of what he had heard that day. In the words of Sigmund
Freud, he suggested that our dreams are
mearly a way of our brain to handle stress and manifest into good or bad based on our experiences and understanding. Thus using
Mr. Freuds deduction we can assume that the artist was trying to bring forth some important issues without
being too direct.
Very well written about a connection to a fond memory of your past relationship with comics through the approach of this assignment. You definitely have a good way about connecting to the readers who have some sort of nostalgia about the comic book media. However, I would suggest for future references and future blogs, that you can add a little more information about what exactly the book was about. Nothing that can spoil the series or one shot story, just some more information that could let the readers know a little more about the comic so that they themselves would want to go and read it. Other then that, very well written.
