The Relationship Of Time And Space In My Comic

Improved Essays
I have shown a manipulation of time and space in my comic that is about a man being chased down by a car. They both work hand in hand and it starts with the second man in the phone booth. Once we go from panel two to three we can tell the car is getting closer because in distance it is closer to the man. From panel two to four we can see that time and distance has had to pass for the man and car relation to be the way it is. He goes from very small on the page and the car at the opposite end being much smaller than him; to the final image with his whole face in the middle of the page and the car behind him being much larger than the man. It is hard to show space and time in comics, but one thing I have seen a lot is going from series of small things to larger. We feel like the objects are …show more content…
In the classroom comic I made the gutters between each tier different sizes and colors. I wanted to show the progress of the teacher and students understanding of each other. In the first two tiers it is large and red. Red on a stop light normally symbolizes stop and the size to show how disconnected they are. In between the second and third it is yellow. Yellow on a stoplight means yield and the size is slightly smaller to show they are starting to connect. The final gutter is green and a lot smaller; It is small to show they are reaching the end of disconnection, and it is the color green for go. I used the gutters to show a progress of what is going on with the characters. We go from disconnect to connect. In the other comic the top three panels are the same size as the last panel if they were all put together. The last panel is wrapping all of the actions up. It is connecting them all together, and is resembling a story where they climax is supposed to be obvious and the turning point of the story. That is the reason I choose to make it the largest panel, because it is the climax of the

    I want to continue with narrative’s model; frame of reference. When Gravity’s Rainbow points to the fact that gravity is a fictitious force and the related concept of their control has to be rethought, it never loses sight of the fact that the effects of gravity cannot be ignored. Pynchon’s novel thus does not present a world where “reality has become as relative as time and space”, as more than one critic has claimed, but Gravity’s Rainbow’s vision as well as its narrative structure is better understood in the more detailed terms of relativity theory that the text introduces in relation to gravity. The novel’s narrative structure, as well as its metaphorical use of relativity theory with the elevator experiment at its center, does not support…

    Dean Trippe used captivating techniques to create a very serious story with a presentation usually intended for children. He composed a story quite chronologically starting at incidents from childhood all the way to adolescents and adult life. The story begins with what seems like a very serious tone. The beginning two frames demonstrate Trippe as a child sitting on a step. In this particular part in the story I believe this is him demonstrating his recollection of the past event in which he was sexually abused.…

    Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” was written in 1894 and explores the position of women within the 19th century society. An interesting aspect of this short story is that it is an early example of feminism in literature. Chopin is subtle, but very effective, in criticizing marriage and the role and position of women during the Victorian Era. The purpose of this essay is to make an approach into the mythic constructions of femininity in this Kate Chopin’s story but also to explore how the author influences the reaction of the reader by using several literary techniques. This essay analyzes the literary techniques employed by Chopin in “The Story of an Hour”.…

    TWO TIME FRAMES

    • 204 Words
    • 1 Pages

    The narrative is structured in TWO TIME-FRAMES. The first is a dramatization of 1990-2016; the majority of the series exists as the dramatization of three central possessions which relate to the hunt for the killer, as well as the complications of Issac’s personal life over those years. The second time-frame is 2016; punctuating, intercutting, and sometimes undermining the central dramatization are scenes of Issac in 2016, giving testimony in a police interrogation room. Through these interrogations, Issac is an occasional narrator, sometimes commenting on the action we watch, sometimes contradicting it with his statements. The entwining of these separate elements offers special storytelling opportunities through its juxtapositions, and allows…

    I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Matt Haig two years ago at an event for his book, A Boy Called Christmas which I loved. It was at this event where I first heard about How to Stop Time which he was still working on at the time. The whole concept of a person not aging on the outside and slowly aging on the inside had me intrigued. However, I had completely forgotten about the book until earlier this year when I saw it on the Savvy Reader's “Most Anticipated Reads of (Early) 2018” blog post.…

    In La Jetee, my interpretation of watching the film was a young man traveling in time as an experiment. Although as I continue watching, there are details within the film such as the background sounds, transitions of photos, and the still photos that give a deeper meaning than of a Sci-fi movie shown this year. In this essay, I will explain how La Jetee uses transitions as well as background sounds to emphasize the still images meaning of time and reality. Chris Marker creates an illusion of time and memory within the making of La Jetee. This film shows a contrast of sci-fi films compared to the more modern ones.…

    Lines In Graphic Comics

    In the comic, both author and illustrator wanted specific pages within the graphic novel to be noticed and centered on by readers. In order to capture emotions of these visual narratives, certain pages required more careful and diligent attention than others as it relied on lines to expressed sensations a character undergo due to Canadian colonial practices. Seen on the 26th page that depicts Joey Caver’s life, there is a sudden change in the variation of lines that differ from the previous pages. The lines before this page are very straightforward and clearcut. The lines are bold and are rarely broken.…

    The Picaresque Genre illustrates the character of a sly, common hero who undergoes episodic and rapid experiences in a tainted society. Often, this hero, or picaro, uses satire to face and reveal the corruption around him. Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy includes many picaresque traits such as the absurd and rapid writing style, the witty and persistent picaro, and the constant denial of a greater power. The novel’s incorporation of picaresque patterns and characteristics prove it to be Picaresque.…

    In today’s society, time dictates everything; whether it be how long it takes to complete something or how many hours put in at work, we are constantly focused on time. A fascinating aspect of time in our society is that we are more focused on the time it takes to get somewhere, versus the distance. How has distance become so intertwined with time? Not only are we correlating time with a physical distance to travel, but generally speaking, most people utilize time as a method of discussing the processes of traveling to a certain status in their career – so a metaphorical distance. For example, for me to get to become a medical professional, I am essentially on a path with a specific number of steps, however these steps (four years of college, four years of medical school, etc.) are not the main focus.…
