Assignment for Friday, May 4, and Monday, May 8

For Friday, complete one page of your Jimmy Corrigan assignment.

For Monday, complete two pages of your Jimmy Corrigan assignment.

If you're writing an essay but you're having trouble designing your own topic, consider these prompts:
1. Write an essay that explains how Christopher Ware's visual style reinforces literary aspects of Jimmy Corrigan's story, including themes, conflicts, character development, and so on.
2. Write an essay that analyzes Jimmy Corrigan's character development over the course of the story.
3. Write an essay that compares Jimmy Corrigan's character to his grandfather's character. What do their juxtaposed narratives reveal about each character?

To quote from the book, you use this digital version of the earlier comic book form of Jimmy Corrigan. You can right click on a page to open it as an individual image. Then you can save and edit the image to use the specific part you want to quote. Then you can paste the image into your paper. Take note: the first third or so of the book is different than the comic book, but the last two-thirds are almost exactly the same; just a few pages are different.
