Understanding Comics Chapter 5 Reflection

This chapter was really interesting. I never really thought about how the use of different lines can change the way we feel or see things. Take for instance page 126, all of the pictures on the page give you a different emotion and tell you a different story, and that's primarily because of the variations of lines used in all of them. If they were all the same kind of line, you wouldn't know what emotion was trying to be portrayed and the image and the message would be confused. I also liked on page 134 all of the different ways to show words in comics. Even without the words and just seeing the different lines, you could somewhat match up what's suppose to be happening. Such as the "bring!" illustration. I would know that something is moving or shaking by looking at the lines without ever having the words there. I think that's pretty neat that you can understand images just from personal experience. It makes you feel one with the artist, because they must've experienced the same thing that you did.
