_Fun Home_ assignment, due Tuesday February 6
Here's the homework assignment I gave on Thursday:
Read Bechdel's _Fun Home_.
As you read, or better, as you re-read (college reading is more successful when you're reading a piece twice, the first time to get acquainted with the work, the second to look at particular things that inform the piece as a whole), keep notes in this manner:
On the left side of the paper (this SHOULD be typed, by the way, note the image or panel that you wish to comment on, and on the right, corresponding side of the paper, make your comments on how you see that image or panel, what about it is of interest to you, what it tells you about what's going on in the story (or stories).
Your commentary should include some reference to the things you observed in Bechdel's work, distributed in class Thursday, in her ongoing strip _Dykes to Watch Out For_ (there's a link to _Dykes_ from the Bechdel link I put up here on Granovel in December).
Your commentary should also include some reference to the many elements of story-telling we identified on the board (and there are more!) Thursday.
