For the play Romeo and Juliet, we were divided into groups to convert each act into a comic. This project was extremely fun because it is a different way to understand the play, and much more easier to read. I had a good time trying to be creative with the photos and the text that me and my team-mate wrote. The part in which we had some type of difficulty was when we had to take pictures of more than two characters. Adriana and I had to look for other people to help us interpret each character. In my case, I found it very easy to work with my partner, and that helped us put our ideas together for the comic and do the absolute best we could. I believe that this type of projects help us work together, but also learn together. I'm convinced that our final product really deserves to be put in the library for sign-out. We worked really hard for other people to be able to understand Shakespeare in a pleasant and clever way.
I disagree with the statement that says comics are no way to learn about serious literature. They're actually a much more fun way, I believe. It helps the reader have an image and understand better, specially if it's about an old text that the language is very difficult. Maybe comics are not a very smart way for some people to learn about literature, but for others it is quite the opposite. It is much more simpler, and it might be shorter that the original text. Comics might also have more of a clever way of writing, which can provide interest in the reader. Although, if comics probably have a large amount of text in a small space it might annoy the person reading it. Comics are an excellent way to learn about serious literature, but they have to me written in a creative and entertaining way.
