After reading Chapter three, of Scott McCloud's, "Understanding Comics", I really did not know what to think. I honestly did not comprehend much of what I had just read. I sat there for awhile thinking why am I reading this, and what does this have to do with English class- a college level English class for that matter. I understood segments of the reading. There are basically six different comic book methods to use. For example, in moment-to-moment one may view a picture of a boy putting food in his mouth, and the next picture be of him chewing. On the other end of the spectrum, the pictures could have no relation to one another, and this is called non-sequitur. McCloud explains closure in many confusing ways. What I took in from his several ways of describing the word, was that it was viewing the comics, and putting together the story either by the pictures themselves, the actions or words.. etc. One part I liked was in the beginning when he talked about how we just assume things are real, or there. When I was little, I never really saw the Easter Bunny, or Santa- but as a child, I just knew that they were there. Those were the best years, when I thought Santa was real, because I would get so so excited for Christmas. Or when I was little again, and I would be in the stroller, being pushed. As a baby, you just know your mommy or daddy, or somebody you are familiar with is pushing you. You cannot see them, but you just feel comfortable.
