This story, well, I guess it was
more of a comic, was very , for lack of better words, stupid, in my opinion. I
have no experience reading comic books, so I was reading all over the page! I
found it to be extremely difficult. That probably makes me out to be an idiot
but whatever. Not only was I confused with the format of it all, but it was
really just a confusing story in itself. First it was about her father’s death,
then it was about how he killed himself, and then it was about Beech Creek and
the geological location of their family residences. Eventually, it went on to
the topic of writing poems and her family being isolated artists?! I must be
missing the big picture.
I also noticed some inappropriate,
Rated R stuff, which I found to be very surprising in an educational writing
book.
It seems like a sad and depressing
story, though. I mean, her father did pass away and then she acted like it was
a “not-that-big-of-a-deal-because-my-parents-have-always-avoided-me-anyways”
kind of situation. She even called her father a “maniac-depressive closeted
fag”. Those are some pretty harsh words
for a little girl to be saying to her suicidal father. It also seemed like an utterly miserable story
because all of the pictures were in a dreary blackish-white animation. And
rarely do any of the characters have smiles on their faces. I really do not
have much of a feeling towards this weirdly bizarre story other than complete
confusion.
