Traveling on this voyage, two different stories, The Arrival and Journey tell their struggles and achievements through a visual perspective. In The Arrival, the artist illustrates a life of an immigrated man who is unfamiliar with his surroundings and culture. As for Journey, it is a video game where the player manipulates a figure who is going to a place towards the mountain to find their will in life while engaging around with their surroundings. In this academic analysis I will be analyzing The Arrival and Journey towards the principles and theories of Molly Bang and Scott McCloud.
To begin with, in the video game Journey I wake up to my goal that is in front of my eyes which is a mountain. For this purpose, every chapter that comes along…show more content… In this panel, a short story is being told by a woman who the protagonist meets, who tells her story of when she was a young girl. This young girl she talks about is forced into horrendous labor that is not meant for her. Applying McCloud's theory to these panels, Shaun Tan uses an aspect to aspect transition for the girl who is having a peaceful break reading a book, then the evil guy grabs her by the hand and puts her book away, to then open a door which enters into a workroom. The most important part of this panel is the focal point that is only directed at the girl. The reader then can sense what is like being her at the moment. This focal point or spotlight shown on her is what Molly Bang describes the center page of which the place has the most attraction. These panels show the bigger and the smaller silhouettes with the girl and the anonymous man. Adding on, as you keep scanning downward until the last panel you can see how small she is getting to the point that she seems powerless and feels like she doesn't have a voice anymore by the way Tan blurs out her

What is a Myth?
From the Greek myths means story or word. Mythology is the study of myth. As stories (or narratives), myths articulate how characters undergo or enact an ordered sequence of events. The term myth has come to refer to a certain genre (or category) of stories that share characteristics that make this genre distinctly different from other genres of oral narratives, such as legends and folktales. Myths are symbolic tales of the distant past (often primordial times) that concern…
Mauriac argues, the work merits attention as an incomparable story.
Mauriac adds that Wiesel’s narrative possesses an even more engaging, spiritual dimension. Mauriac focuses on the narrator’s struggles with God and religion as the most striking aspect of the work. Quoting one of Night’s most famous passages (the “Never shall I forget that night” passage that occurs after the narrator’s arrival at Auschwitz), Mauriac explains that he was intensely affected by the narrator’s loss of faith, and…

recall consciously. But Sethe’s repression is problematic, because the absence of history and memory inhibits the construction of a stable identity. Even Sethe’s hard-won freedom is threatened by her inability to confront her prior life. Paul D’s arrival gives Sethe the opportunity and the impetus to finally come to terms with her painful life history.
Already in the first chapter, the reader begins to gain a sense of the horrors that have taken place. Like the ghost, the address of the house is a…
has unequivocally been influenced by Western modes of thought. Thus, in Caribbean literature topics “of interracial desires of same-sex and of homoerotic colonial fantasies continue to be elusive and contradictory in most commentaries on colonial narrative” (Hawley, 278). The identification of these concepts as “elusive” suggests the recently freed territories fall under a regressive conceptualization of sexual creeds. Academics label the stigma created by homosexuality as a product of colonization…
