It’s easy to say I loved this text automatically for the
fact that it was a comic strip and also because it was about a classic. The
Sandman is a very well known and loved story. However, I found myself getting a
bit confused sometimes while I was reading. There’s no doubt about it that I enjoyed
it, but towards the end of the section we were reading, I started to become a
little lost in the sense where I felt like the story was hopping from one
subject to another without any type of smooth transition or bigger explanation just
to give me an idea of what’s going on. For the parts that I did comprehend, I enjoyed
it very much. I think the sandman is about a serious topic even though it’s
expressed through a comic. I believe it’s about facing nightmares in real life
and your dreams becoming a reality but not in the way you’d want them too. And then
in the story line, the sandman makes those people fall asleep for the rest of
their lives. Now I could be completely wrong here trying to understand this,
but I don’t think those actions are all that terrible. Of course it’s bad for
someone to end up fall asleep and never waking up, but when they were awake,
those certain people were suffering. So the sandman’s intentions may be bad,
but I don’t believe his actions would be considered the worst thing that could
happen. I guess it all comes down to perspective and the way you look at things.
Regardless of my confused moments, I really enjoyed reading this text and I’m
looking forward to trying to comprehend the rest of it.
Hey Seher,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading this comic too. I was confused with parts of the story, after we discussed it in class it became a little bit more clear for me.
