Graphic Novel Presentation

    Reflection 

        The most exciting part about this project is being able to see all my ideas on how I pictured them in my mind and being able to go home and share this with my aunt. Something that really helped my process when creating this project was the "Munchies" video and the 3 little pigs chi restaurant. Seeing how he connected his food to his experience with struggling to fit into American society without losing sight of his true beliefs, inspired me to use my recipe presentation to further explain, and she through pictures what my favorite dessert meant to me. Not only did munchies help me, but my peers did as well hear how symbolic the food and snacks were significant to them, and their lives allowed me to be more open and comfortable with sharing my story, and I find being able to illustrate my previous thoughts through pictures cool. Using this graphic novel format helped me further understand the power of symbolism. How things that may appear simple to us, could represent and mean something special to someone else. From doing this entire experience, from reading food blogs, to watching videos on food, and making my own blog and having discussions in class, it has made me realize, that anything can play into identity, or represent something in your life. I also learned you never know what someone has gone through. This project is allowing me to get to know other people and be able to relate to them and build relationships.
