I thought that the CCM article "A Changing Identity" was intriguing. I believe that the reason I felt this CCM article was so fascinating was because it was written about a graphic novel. I have never once read a graphic novel and after reading this analysis I am interested in reading one. Since I am so unfamiliar with this particular type of novel, I learned a tremendous amount by listening to the perspective of Lauren. I was extremely impressed by how the author, Lauren, picked out specific scenes/pictures from the novel to help back up her arguments. For example, Lauren discusses how the author of the novel does an excellent job of making the main character's identity change throughout the story very apparent. Lauren talks about Mazzucchelli, the main character, and how he walked away from the cold and pouring rain into a dirty subway, all alone. In her analysis, Lauren discusses how this was a perfect picture of how this was the lowest point in Mazzucchelli's life. Another interesting part of this analysis was when Lauren discusses the author of the novel's technique of "bleeding". Bleeding is when a "panel runs off the edge of the page". The author of the story incorporated this technique in her writing to paint a picture of how big the world really was around Mazzucchelli. Lauren did an excellent job of using specific examples to back up her points.
