La bande dessinée comme outil de vulgarisation “Vivos se los llevaron”
Ce genre de bande dessinée est très similaire aux autres bandes dessinées qui racontent une histoire fictive. Pourtant, ici, les événements sont vrais. Ils sont des faits. On ne parle pas de film documentaire, ni de livres de référence. On parle d’histoires, des histoires vraies, mais des histoires quand même. Pour cette édition, j’ai choisi une BD qui illustre très bien cette idée.

The real Heart of Darkness are the friends we made along the way
At a first glance, one might argue that in the Heart of Darkness, we devolve into the worst version of ourselves. And that anyone who finds themselves isolated from the world will succumb to their darkest and most vile and horrifying impulses. After all, that is why we built cities and empires, so that we could live together in society. So that we could live by the rule of law, so that we wouldn’t kill our neighbors whenever a disagreement was brought up. So that we don’t end up like Mr. Kurtz.

The goal of this essay is to prove that Adam and Eve are not equal because they are tempted in a different way. I have to analyze their hierarchy which encompasses their place in the world as the newest creation in the garden of Eden, and the authority that each possess as well as their pursuit of knowledge which drives their actions and informs their respective trials and temptations.

The Clockwork Universe of Paradise Lost: God, Free Will, and Time
In “Paradise Lost” upon first glance, God appears tyrannical and prejudiced against humanity. In fact, the first thing God says about humanity is essentially a condemnation of the species. Even worse, the angels seem to be okay with it. However, there is a difference between the idea of God in “Paradise Lost” and the commonly held notion of what God is. I suggest that the poem masterfully explores this difference, causing readers to question their understanding of God as an omnipotent figure. The comic book character of Dr. Manhattan, while not a God, can be useful in understanding the truth of God in Paradise Lost.

When poetry gets political
Paradise Lost by John Milton is a 10, 565 lines LONG epic poem and the best thing about it is that it doesn’t rhyme. But how, I hear you asking, how can a poem not rhyme? Isn’t that the whole point of writing poetry? Well, it’s a lot more complicated than that.
