Comics Poetry Reading Response

The first example gives the reader a sense of the conversation in a back and forth change in perspective. The speech bubble always leads to the direction of the other character off the page.

The man in the below comic strip, approaches the mirror (his mind). The man is in contact with himself (the reflection of himself and his thoughts) The man is in touch with his emotions and is interacting with his thoughts as he contemplates life. The mirror and the man have become one.
The mirror is the the mans sanity, or is at least showing him whats left of it. The woman throws a rock into the mirror and as soon as the mirror shatters, the man shattered with it depiction the break down of his emotional state. 


The woman begins to collect the pieces, and other woman come to help clean up. The woman took the pieces put them into frames and hung it on the wall and analyzed it like it art in a gallery.
The hung images serve as a way analyze the past and what happened between the two as she collects the pieces, collecting the memories, so time has passed and she is now contemplating form a less emotional or more stable point of view. And the other woman are just her friends helping her or consoling her.

Or she could be evil and just hangs the pieces of shattered people on the wall.

By describing these examples I wanted to show how I saw it. People interpret it differently and that is the beauty of our minds. So many ideas can be generated by looking at a skit of illustrations without text in this context is making me create my own narrative based on what is see.
And it is almost working the same way as abstract art, we interpret it to our own generated ideas based on what we are looking at.

That is what I got when looking at this.
