American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang
I really did enjoy reading the comic of American Born Chinese by Gene Yang, since it was really understandable, and also the images included in the comic were easy to understand and straight to the point. In contrast to Sandman comic, this one didn't include any deep meaning and was way more enjoyable to read in my opinion. This comic had a clear moral to it, as it shows at the end when king monkey wanted to defeat his own god that created him, yet realized that he was just fooling himself , and that he couldn't defeat that god unlike the others, since he created everything.I believe that American Born Chinese has more of a religions moral into it, since it shows how there is this one god that is the strongest out of all of them, creating and also destroying his creating if they decide to take the wrong path. I enjoy reading comics that have a clear moral like this one, and I do feel proud of myself to have ended reading this comic understand the plot and moral it contains.

The Sandman comic was unclear because it wasn't a full story like American Born Chinese was; it seemed more like an introduction of the character Dream.
ReplyDeleteTotally understand your point! A simpler comic, with a clear purpose is more ideal to read and interpret.
