1. Why did you choose the different pictures and backgrounds?
Ans: I chose the pictures because most manual workers are dark skinned and i wanted them them to show that one should take pride in ones work and do ones best in everything. I also wanted to show that everyone has a conscience, and that we have a choice to either do good or do bad.
2. How do they contribute to the elements (plot, setting, characterization) of your narrative?
Ans: The pictures show that the Indians' job is to clean pipes, which is a dirty and undesirable job (setting). The Indian worker cuts corners, so he would do less work. This shows that the Indian worker is very lazy and does not take pride on his work. (characterization).
3. how did you make use of the different elements to contribute to the theme that you have chosen?
Ans: The theme that I have chosen is to take pride on ones work and to do ones best in everything. In the comic, the pipe cleaner has two choices: listen to his colleague and take pride in his work or to cut corners and not do his best in his job. The Indian worker decided that his comfort is more important than his integrity and cut corners. This decision caused a flood and caused him to get fired. This element advises one to take pride in one's work.
Hi Wei Yang,
ReplyDeleteI agree with your view on this comic. This comic shows that life is full of choices. It is up to us to decide our fate and in whatever choice we make, we need to be responsible for our actions and be ready to bear the consequences of the actions.

I think you have expressed a relevant and important theme in your comic. True enough, sometimes cutting corners can lead to severe consequences. The main point is to do our jobs honestly, and not try to take a shortcut just to save the hassle and time. It may lead to spending more time bearing the consequences.
