Blankets- a telling story

Growing up in today society, let alone any society we face tons of issues- whether thats with race, economic standing, faith, sexual experiences and so much more. The book Blankets really helped capture  a first hand story of going through these struggles. The author Craig Thompson did a stunning job explaining and capturing this experience. As I was first assigned to read a graphic novel I was just floored- how are we college students reading a comic book is what I thought. However I was just shocked and moved by the story and each and every line.

While watching the movie The Incredibles for the first time ever, I was really moved by the plot.
