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.

transmetropolitan

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...

VIRUS

         The earth is no longer the earthly paradise that was in its time due to the exploitation of resources, the pollution of waters, by industries around the world have made people sick, people are crowded looking of food and water. the politicians say that everything goes well. After knowing what happened with the earth I was thinking about the importance of natural resources irrational use or experimentation. Every time we damage the planet, it has consciousness in us. In this story, people had to use special masks to be able to live. the story gives the feeling of our future. when I mean by future it is a future that anyone in earth one. It is a future of none existing plants and a feeling of desperation of living in this world.  When you think about that virus yo see that when the author was explaining that the virus is affecting to everyone who is alive. I feel that the author it was taking more about the planet earth.  It means that we...

Electrifying game

In this story, I read how a video game can affect a child. The author described describes in a simple way what may be the immersion in virtual reality. Daniel, a child who is a fan of video games. Once he picked up a machine that was damaged by virtual reality and without knowing what I'm playing. He saw a ray of blue light that led him to be inside a game, in which squared figures and towers with bright colors appeared floating  He also noticed that there were plants, that when you touched you shot darts that pointed to darkness, light, green circles and doors that opened, bridges that you had to cross. But Daniel concentrated, jumped and jumped until he achieved the goal. When he opened his eyes again, he was on the floor looking at the roof of the store. There were many people around him examining him. Daniel had received an electric shock when he scanned the broken machine. Everyone believed that it had been a painful experience, but Daniel felt that this had been the advent...
