Nate's Comic Essay: Fact Or Fiction?

Improved Essays
This comic is mainly about a 6th grade boy named Nate who assumes the worse and in the end the opposite happens. On the first day, where the story begins, Nate’s friends (names unknown) are shocked to see Nate hanging out with them because he was supposed to be with a girl. Through the comic you’ll see Nate’s friends questioning him about what happened between him and his friend Trudy. Nate avoids his friend’s questions due to frustration and disappointment. He later explains that Trudy doesn’t want to talk to him because of his age. His friends cope with him along with some sarcastic jokes. But then, Nate’s mystery girl appears, apologizes and kisses him. Basically Nate overreacted about the whole entire situation. Nates emotions are all over …show more content…
Yes, by reading the comic I could easily tell that Nate was a boy and I could easily tell that there was grass around him. But it looked like the cartoonist that drew him didn’t even try to make Nate look realistic. There were a couple parts where I saw little bit of realism being showed. One part where the comic did look realistic was when Nates emotions were portrayed. For example, when Nate yells in one of the comic strips on October 5th, you can see the lines around his mouth and on his eyebrows. Those lines showed realism like the way a real persons face would move if they were going through the same expression. Another part where I saw a sense of realism was on one of Nate’s friend’s hair. One of his friends had lines on the side of his head, this showed that his friend didn’t have just ordinary hair. He had hair that had a little bit of style added to it. Like the way most other little boys would have their hair. I think if a young boy were to be reading this article, and had similar hair would see the realism and relate to it. Lastly, the last realism moment that I found in comic was on the last strip where Trudy kisses Nate. During the kiss, the cartoonist has lines surrounding them, which is an example of Implied Movement. Because of those lines we can see that Trudy is grabbing Nate and kissing him rather than it just happening

    In his book titled “The Future of Life”, Edward O. Wilson effectively utilizes satire to illustrate the unproductive nature of an Environmentalist versus People-First debate. By lacking a complete arsenal of constructively, statistically, and logically correct arguments, both point of views were explained with the use of overly dramatic irony, extreme real life examples, and outlandishly childish name-calling. Wilson is able to depict a ludicrous display of an utmost unconstructive argument that ultimately leads to nothing except for the undermining of both parties. One of the highlighting uses of satire that Wilson was able to incorporate, was the manner in which both sides attempted to weaken the opposition with the use of unproductive name-calling. We witness this immature behavior in that the People-First would refer to the…

    The present study investigated the possible relationship between self-defeating humor and the use of humor as a coping strategy. It also predicts that the use of humor as a coping strategy is negatively correlated with self-defeating humor Meaning, for example, if an individual has a lower self-defeating humor score, the lower the usage of humor as a coping strategy. However, the results of the present study do not support the idea of a negative correlation. Instead, there is a weak, but significant positive correlation between self-defeating humor and the use of humor as a coping strategy, rather than the negative correlation between the two measures.…

    Most readers and analysists of Art Spiegelman’s Maus tend to become so focused on the grim nature of the comic’s subject matter that they overlook the possibility that there exists aspects beyond guilt and trauma that influence its narrative. Likewise, the most commonly overlooked of these aspects, and also possibly one of the most controversial, is humor. Throughout the centuries, individuals have employed humour, whether it be in the form of satire, irony, or understatement, to help them cope with trauma. Likewise, it comes as no surprise that, in detailing his father’s horrific experiences as a Jew in Nazi occupied Poland through a comic where Jews are represented as mice, Poles as pigs, and Germans as cats, Spiegelman employs humor. Moreover,…
