LA Home Learning Comic (Questions)

Q1.) Why did you choose the different pictures or backgrounds?

Basically, different pictures or backgrounds give you the answer to the identity of a person. Having a background allows you to infer more about the person, more on what he does, but does not reveal so much about his characteristics. DIFFERENT backgrounds give you DIFFERENT answers to the person’s identity.

Q2.) How do they contribute to the elements (plot, setting, and characterisation) of your narrative?

In the first frame, I put up a background of a modern society, telling the readers that in this day and time, people can do anything for their own benefits, even kinship which cannot be bought with money. This gives the reader some background knowledge of the plot on what I am planning to write. In the second frame, I put up a background of a soccer field, indicating my dreams. In the third and fourth frame, I indicate myself in different situations where I have a dilemma. In the fifth frame, I indicate my desire to be there for my favourite sport. Lastly, the background of my home indicates that I will never leave this home, and this is the place where I belong.

Q3.) How did you make use of the different elements to contribute to the theme you have chosen?

To start off with, my theme is “Kinship/Friendship can never be bought with money”. From this theme, I start off with having to ponder over two choices, kinship or a dream to be fulfilled and my final decision tells me which is more important. The first setting gives us an introduction of what is happening today while the setting of the home gives the audience the feel how etched my feelings are to where I belong, while the background of soccer fields show the desire to fulfil my own dream. Lastly, characterisation shows the feeling of a home and the feelings of a dream fulfilled.
