common text speech

This past summer wasn't the first time i had read the graphic novel Persepolis. I read it the spring semester of my senior year of high school. I enjoyed reading it then but i enjoyed reading even more this past summer. My senior year i only read the first book but the reading the second book as well as the first book was so much better. It made it much easier to relate to and be able to relate to my life now. The speaker tonight was very insightful about the text but also very confusing and wordy. I don't know how i felt about her presentation. I felt like it was very hard to follow and she was very textbook in the way she presented it to the class. It was hard to relate to and also to understand. I felt like she complicated something that was easy to comprehend. I just wasn't a fan of her presentation and the way she described graphic novels in general. No offense but a comic is a comic. Graphic novel is a fancy term for comic and i think she just didn't want to admit that. Overall i wasn't a fan of the speech on the "graphic novel" but was a fan of the book overall.
