Culture is a topic that everyone is familiar with. We know as readers that the material presented to us whether it is a novel, essay or even movie- culture had an influence on it. The TED Talk focused on this aspect, as went into specific details of how culture has an effect on plot. During the course of this class we read folktales such as the "Witches Skin" in which specific details such as a guava tree, served as evidence that culture has an effect on plot. The speaker focused on this aspect a lot as he brought up live examples of culture-dependent aspects in his speech.
Although it was very difficult to understand him, the discussion that we had after class helped paint a clearer picture.

Sandman was much different than the other graphic novels that we read in class. It was very confusing and the graphic images were odd. Overall I understood that the story line is based on an overall plot as well as a dream. This graphic novel is not a light read, it is very deep and involves many different characters. Hopefully this clear up during tomorrows class discussion.
