The 9/11 Report

Wow what a read, The 9/11 Report a graphic adaptation by Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colon, is inspiring. The life like images of this graphic really drew me into the sarrow and horrors surrunding the events of 9/11. This GN was probably the best at representing history in a ahh inspiring way. Jacobson and Colon take us on an intenese journey through the legislation and politics surround the war in Iraq and the one in Afganistan. Though these were only stops on the ride to the big picture, and the final question, how do we prevent 9/11 from happening. According to the research for the 9/11 Report, America was just unprepared technological, physical and mentally. The use of dialog brings us into the clear cut facts and helps the pictures come to life as if we were watchin the events of the past on our TV. The detail makes us draw more feelings from the facts and charaters. I think this GN should be used in Political Science, due to its genre of intellicual facts, mingled with true feeling; because, despite what people think you have to have a strong compassion and attachment to the facts to be a good politician. This GN brought the facts from black and white to a rainbow of feelings. GREAT GN!!

This is still too short. You haven't developed a cohesive idea here, and you are not going into depth with your ideas.

What cohesive idea can be arrived at by reading a comic about facts? I'm confused about what you want me to develop?
