Tomorrow is our home learning day, as the teachers have to attend a talk and meeting. Therefore, we have been assigned homework by each subject teacher, and now, i will be posting on my LA home learning homework, which is also considered as ace.
Our assignment is to create a comic online, and we need our innovation and creativity to come up with a good comic. My theme for the comic is "Racial Prejudice."
Here is my comic!(: (the second comic is a follow up of the first, while the last comic is just to encourage people to stop racial prejudice!)
The backgrounds i chose are all showing deserted roads and streets. This is because most of the robberies and crimes takes place on deserted roads and streets, where there are little people, thus, easy to rob the victim easily.
For the person that got robbed, i purposely made her speech very harsh and insulting to blacks, so as to bring out the fact that many people are discriminating blacks, and that they will associate almost everything bad that happened to blacks, as they are somewhat racist.
Also, i chose a character that looked really blur, so that it will bring out the thought to the viewers that he is very innocent, and is very astonished and shocked when the police confronted him. This gives the readers a feeling that he is being wrongly accused.
I chose a character that looks really arrogant and proud, as the policeman, just to show that the main culprits of racial discrimination and racial prejudice are the whites, against the Negroes. Also, i wanted to bring out the fact that even if it is a policeman, he can have a really bad character and attitude as well. Being a policeman just allows them to go around bullying the people they don't like, which in this case, is that Negroes.
For the last person, who is the real culprit of the robbery, i chose a very sly and cunning looking character to show that he has lots of tricks under his sleeve, which includes, sabotaging the innocent negro on the street, and not owning up even when the Negro's life is almost taken.
I have also added some speech for each character to show their personalities and characteristics as well.
The narrative devices i have used is personification. For example, the policeman called the Negro a filthy animal, as the policeman, himself, who supposedly, is full of justice and righteousness, is discriminating the Negro as well. Thus, there is irony in my comic as well! (: It is also to show that the police is haughty, arrogant and proud, which i mentioned previously.
I also used onomatopoeia. I used the word "BANG" three times, to emphasize that the policeman really went for the kill, shooting 3 bullets, and not just 1. This also proves my proves my previous point, which is that the policeman wanted to kill the Negro right from the start, and is just using the robbery that just occurred as an excuse.
That is about all to it!(:
I have also created a comic to further encourage people not to be prejudice to other races, and not to discriminate everyone, so that the world can become a much more peaceful and conducive place to live in!(:
Hope you enjoyed my comics!
Best regards,
Mervin Lim
