The novel also makes a unyielding point about the dangers of consumerism, emphasizing how creativity and individualism can be reduced by allowing the government and media to think for them.

Adventure and desire are common qualities in humans and Sarah Orne Jewett’s excerpt from “A White Heron” is no different.

Jewett is picturesque when describing Sylvia’s journey to the tip of one unconquered pine tree.

Through his creation of the animals representing race and religion, Spiegelman uses the comic medium to make the racial discrimination more approachable to his audience. Helping the audience enter Vladek’s world shines light on his outsider status, showing what the comic genre is truly capable of. Same story with Bechdel and Fun Home. Bechdel uses the art of her drawings and words to bring the reader with her from her childhood to her adulthood; from her low points and chaos, to high points and acceptance of her true identity.
