This text does a great job on giving a sneak-peak into the background of graphic novels. Since I am fairly new to reading this type of literature, it is interesting to learn about what is classified as a graphic novel and what should be classified as a "graphic memoir". I made the distinction that a graphic memoir is more appropriate for a work of non-fiction origin as opposed to fiction. William Bradley also goes into depth explaining different types of works such as "Fun Home". Since I am unfamiliar with them it is hard to understand the particular references he makes, but overall this work offers insight into the world of graphic novels.

I enjoyed reading this work a lot! This was my first time reading a graphic novel and I think that I have been missing out. The work comes to life with the help of the pictures and onimonopia! The fact that it was about a monkey pursuing the role of a leader made it that much more funnier! I am grateful that I had the opportunity to engage in this reading, and now I have a whole different interpretation of graphic novels & even comics.

Well this reading was definitely food for thought... Not only because I did not understand everything that was written, but also because some points mentioned in this reading were easy to relate to. Even though the purpose of this article was dissect "White Tigers", it went off to discuss feminism and gender roles. Since "White Tiger" is primarily focused on gender roles it is not a surprise that this reading does the same.  As mentioned by the author, an American reading this story has a different perspective as compared a person living in the part of the world where the narrator grew up. As Americans we are lucky to have the rights that we do. We are allowed to go to school, become independent and become successful-rather than being just a slave and servant.

Overall, this reading incorporated a lot of information from previous passages and this caused tremendous confusion. However, at the end of the day we have to make the best of what we got and extrapolate the concepts that are most familiar to us.
