McCloud begins his article "From the Vocabulary of Comics" with a picture of a pipe. He does this tho show his audience that the picture is not actually a pipe, but rather a "printed copy of a drawing of a painting of a pipe." He wants his readers to understand how we interpret cartoons. We use icons to resemble subjects. The picture on the page is symbolic of another subject. He calls humans a "self centered race" which I agree with him on. Majority of humans are self centered and always relate things to themselves. His comic strips made me think about what goes through my mind when looking at different images. I don't put as much thought into what the picture is symbolizing and how it's on the page.
So far, for my project, I have been somewhat indecisive. I was really interested in learning more about fan fiction, and what determines what's a crime by violating copyrighted material. It's interesting how far some people can stretch the law and how others break it out of innocence and fun. I was also considering learning more about the boundaries of myspace involving teachers. Should teachers and students be friends in the myspace world? Should they be allowed to look at that part of a student's life? Should a student be allowed to see the teacher's life out of school? There are a lot of different perspectives that can be looked at.
