I shared my graphic novel with my friend Harris who was in the World Urban Geography program at Syracuse, but left this past weekend. Sharing this with him gave me the opportunity to get another perspective while also staying in touch. He thought that my graphic novel page was really interesting because he has also heard similar stories from his mother. He elaborated saying that “[his] mom always craved fried calamari and it is still one of [his] favorite foods today.” He found this relationship funny because food traveled to him, through his mother, and yet his body still remembers it. He enjoyed my interpretation of it saying, “When you turn a biological process into a narrative, it adds life to it.” I really appreciate hearing someone else’s perspective, especially someone not in a writing class. He was honest with me while also providing feedback I had never heard, like the “adding life to a biological process”. I liked the final product of my graphic novel page and absorbing all of the feedback from my peers and friends was rewarding and interesting. I do not usually like sharing my writing or art with others, so the fact that I did both in my graphic novel page was a big step. The blog project as a whole along with all of the positive feedback I have been receiving is making me more confident and more eager to produce and share with the world around me.
