Week 9 Reading Journal

"Persepolis" is a comic by Marjane Satrapi. The art was awful; it's too simple and not presence the atmosphere as good as Diary of a Wimpy Kid. The writing style is kinda like the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid", like referencing a scenario to something else. The story is about a daily life an Iran girl and of the bewildering contradictions between home life and public life.

"The Dark Knight" is a novel based on the Warner Bros Picture Film, novelization by Dennis O'Neil, screenplay by Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan, story by Christopher Nolan & David S. Goyer. Seem like lots of people have a portion of the credit in this book. The first part of the book jumps into the the climax of the book, which i don't like it very much. Other than that, the image is clear and well describe, giving a intense atmosphere.

I continue to read "The Red Badge of Courage". Suddenly, Henry's friend acts weird and shouts "I see it, I see it" as he looks into distant. The old man and Henry confuse, say to him what's wrong. The friend forcefully shoves Henry to ground and wanders away to the high grass landscape. He goes to the middle of the field and stands there for a moment, then collapses.
