The Smaller Cracks Emphasis The Significances of The Story as a The Whole Than The Larger Picture

According to George Carlin, he stated “Some people see the glass half full. Others see it half empty. I see a glass that’s twice as big as it needs to be.”, in which entailed people could not see the bigger picture from just looking at the most clearer details that the graphic novel already have provided. I, on the other hand, looked at the smaller cracks to see the extraordinary about this piece of art. This is not just a comic book. It correspond on the idea of creativity that we haven’t originally thought in the first place and goes beyond our expectations in which only make the audience become more fascinated yet frustration on seeing their next works. Analyzing a graphic novel not only advocates the anthropomorphism, unexpectation, and creativity but projects a message that hold a deeper meaning into our lives.

Anthropomorphism in graphic novel does not only attempt to revolutionizes social environment in our community but it also evokes audience’s empathy with the use of artist’s drawing kit. It is an aspect on inanimate objects that personify human characteristics or behavior. In the consonance with Suzanne Keen’s statement, Strategic narrative empathy is the type of strategy to “designed to sway the feelings of their readers (though actual readers’ responses vary) [while as] ambassadorial strategic empathy attempts to reach readers outside the boundaries of the depicted social world in an effort to change attitudes and even solicit assistance in the real world (Keen, “Strategic Empathizing” 478-80). ” (Suzanne Keen, page 136). This quote implied these techniques advocate a sense of a journey to comprehending what it truly means on making these choices that one may faced in real-life situation through the interaction of the characters. Frankly not only the character developed in the graphic novel, but, the audience also growth through this experiences.

The attribution of the inanimate objects corresponds with the idea of sympathizing with the characters. According to Suzanne Keen’s claim, he stated “. First, the deployment of anthropomorphized animal characters evokes culturally scripted responses to familiar schemas of sympathetic and antipathetic animals.6”(Suzanne Keen, page 136) This quote signify the readers will take a stand toward the character whom they may connected through facing a certain circumstanced in the past and how their actions reflects them. In the same fashion once the character shown a sense of realism, the reader began to show sympathy toward them and those feelings projects conscious on empathizing on the struggles and the choices they are forced to endured. Furthermore, it can also influence the audience’s psychic to become more considerate toward people who has similar experiences in real life.

When a character evokes such powerful emotions onto the readers, they can also feel the intensity and the frustration from those feelings. It will sway their desire for wanting to analyzed more into the graphic novel than before as Suzanne Keen mentions “ Second, the depiction of facial expressions and bodily postures to convey emotional states (that may or may not be glossed verbally) calls upon readers’ neural systems for recognition of basic emotions.”(Suzanne Keen, page 137). The anthropomorphic aspect of a character will blow the audience’s minds in thinking, how amazing the hidden meaning behind their interactions were well executed such as “ wow” in which it will stick with them for their entire life. Not only will it change them as a whole but also the message will stay with them as well.
