1. Why did you choose the different pictures or background(s)?
I chose a shopping centre as the background as I usually see discrimination taking place in shopping mall, especially in shopping centres which as very oftenly crowded. Moving on, I chose gangster looking guys as they are the main group of people who usually discriminate other people, they may think that the person they are referring to may not be able to hear them, however sometimes it is better to be safe than sorry.
2. How do they contribute to the elements (plot, setting, characterization) of your narrative?
All my choices have a purpose. I chose a shopping centre as the background as I usually see discrimination taking place in shopping mall, especially in shopping centres which as very oftenly crowded. Moving on, I chose gangster looking guys as they are the main group of people who usually discriminate other people, they may think that the person they are referring to may not be able to hear them, however sometimes it is better to be safe than sorry. Basically, the plot is: 2 young hooligans are at the mall, they see a fat man, they make fun of the fat man, the fat man hears what they say, hooligans = dead. I used a joke: “He so fat that when he stands on a weighing scale, I can see my phone number!” I used it to further prove evidently that those 2 boys are young and are delinquents. In the last box, I purposely enlarged the fat man, to the extent that he is over-towering the boys, to show that based on strength and power, the fat man is no doubt the stronger side, I also purposely reduced the size of the 2 boys to show the comparison between the size of the fat man and the 2 boys.
3. How did you make use of the different elements to contribute to the theme you have chosen?
The theme I have chosen is discrimination, because it was a recent topic in our class discussions. My comic strip is mainly trying to show that discrimination is BAD. People who discriminate others will not have a good ending. “ Do to others what you want others to do to you” If you discriminate others, you have no idea of what the other person is capable of doing to you, or even if the other party has a group of friends with him. I purposely made the fat man in my comic strip look abnormally larger than the 2 boys to show a clear distinction between the 2 parties, based on strength and pure power.
Thats about it, thanks for reading!
