    Images and Their Effect on Reading One of the first things a child is taught to do when he picks up a writing utensil is to draw a picture. As we grow up we are weaned off of pictures, as Scott McCloud says, and the goal is, “to arrive at ‘real’ books -- those with no pictures at all” (McCloud, 740). McCloud is a comic, in one of his works, Understanding Comics, McCloud explores the different ways that cartoons can be used and the power of adding images to stories.

This is difficult because there exists…an apparatus urging us to accept American innocence at face value and not to inquire too much.” White supremacy was described by Dayvon Love as a math problem, you can’t complete a quadratic equation without first understanding how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. When you approach white supremacy, “you must look at the small concepts to begin to understand the larger picture.”…
