Witches

In these readings, I get to know the witch called Faith,  in where we can see her life in the comic. We can see how she learned about witches and magic with her female teacher who is dressed like a nun. This comic for me was confusing because of how the story started by telling another story of a witch called Ursula, and how they got to burn her. I really like the color palette that the comic has, because you can see a lot of purple color in the comic. I honestly think that this story could be more organized because for me, it was confusing first reading about the marriage and then reading about Faith's childhood.

Adding the teacher of Faith to the story was very interesting, because we can see how Faith learns witchcraft and the influence that she gives to Faith. Faith's teacher was the representation of her mother.

Witches were one of the first female representations in horror, and when we read or watch a movie about witches, we see a female with power and magic. Witches were always in our past like legends. They have scared society, and so they burn people thinking that they are witches or do magic.

Now these days, we can see more options for witches like Harry Potter, who is male and he is completely different from Faith. First, he went to a school and his power was not that secret. Harry Potter shows us a new concept about magic; a world where you can coexist with other witches.

Spider Jerusalem lives in a love-hate relationship with the people of the city. The city if a futuristic cyberpunk. his is a strong and different character, he is not the typical character that you can find in some other book. In this comic one can find what is cyberpunk.  the effect that technology will influence us in the future. when can also see who the middle class will be involved with technology, and how it is to live in a big city in the future.  One of Spider's characteristics is his rebellion against things. when I was rearing the comic i feel like spider did not care about anything. when The story starts when Spider was in alone in the mountains talking to someone. This part for me make was confusing because at that time I did not see any signs of cyberpunk until he enters the city. The character will introduces us to the city. Cyberpunk often serves as a metaphor for current concerns about the effects and control of corporations over people, the corruption of go...

A world without end

After the apocalypse that had just happened through an explosion of the cortex to the core, every trace of civilization had been exterminated from the earth. When scientists began experimenting with nuclear space science, they never imagined that their power could get out of hand. The few survivors of the catastrophe could not explain even how they managed to stand and unharmed when suddenly, volcanoes ceased their eruption. The oceans calmed their fury and the sky gradually turned blue. The survivors could not understand what was happening. The earth began to fill with vegetation in the blink of an eye. All the ruins were covered by leafy fruit trees. All the earth's resources were renewed and numerous and unknown species of animals began to populate the land in a matter of hours. The survivors had to start a new life again. A common feeling of happiness was felt in the air for this new opportunity that the earth gave them.

Annihilation Jeff Vandermeer

It is a futuristic science fiction book and is part of a trilogy. In the very beginning we are invaded by a sensation of fear of the unknown, because of the information that the biologist offers us. The first book is called "Annihilation", which takes place in Area X: a distant, hidden, and unknown place declared an environmental disaster area many years ago. This area has been devastated by pollution, cloning, and radiation. This area has no contact with the outside, and access is prohibited. State agency Southern Reach has sent several expeditions that have failed. By suicide of its members, they have gone mad in the last expedition, which gives us doubts about the mission itself.  This is the twelth expedition that is sent after 2 years, and 4 women are a biologist, an anthropologist, a psychologist, and a surveyor-- the biologist being the one to narrate the book. Her husband participated in the previous expedition and returned without any memory of what had happened t...
