Forms of Narrative

The End of a Great Semester

Dec 14 2009

At the beginning of this class, I'll admit that I was a little skeptical about how interested I would be in the material we would be learning about. I was never a huge video game or comic fan and I was worried that the semester would be drag out to be just another class I was forced to attend. What i discovered however, was that different forms of narrative and how they are able to relay stories in different and interesting ways is actually a fascinating thing to sit down and learn. I was ultimately really glad that I decided to stick with the class because I was exposed to things that I would otherwise never have been exposed to in my life. I enjoyed taking an in-depth look at comics and video games especially because it was a new, fun way of looking at the way a narrative could be formed. This class quickly became my favorite class of the semester and I think I owe that to the interesting course material, my classmates, and of course, my professor, Dr. Whalen.
