Prisoner on the hell planet a case history, Artie explains more of what happened with his mothers suicide, he tells us how she killed her self and tells us about the nigh it happened and days after. Artie feels guilty for his mothers suicide and you can tell he feels guilty before he even says he does because in one of the first panels he is standing like he is about to take a mug shot. I found it interesting that this section of the book used humans instead of mice, I feel like you can see more emotions and feeling in the faces of the humans and if they were mouse it wouldn't have the same affect. The pictures in this section make what he is saying very powerful. by how he makes the people look and how their words come out in their facial expressions. You can tell how bad he feels and how much he feels like it is his fault even though he tells you you can see it in his face clothes and the backgrounds where he is in jail at one point. you can also see how bad his father is handling the situation and how he is falling apart by his facial expression.

My name is Allison Ankrum; I am 20 years old and a junior at Shippensburg University. My major is Elementary Education with a minor in Early Childhood. Some of my hobbies are playing softball though now I only play for fun, hanging out with my friends, camping, watching movies, and just going out in general, I love to travel I want to see the world and maybe teach abroad. Some things that I am interested in are the Phillies and the Flyers, also I am in a sorority Phi Sigma Sigma; the girls are my second family and I spend a lot of my time with them. This class is a gen ed. that I need to take, but I am interested in the cultural diverse aspect of this class.
Cultural diversity is the many different cultures making up the world’s population, living together. It is also highlights the differences between cultures. Cultural diversity was born along with the birth of our country, as our culture has developed. The United States is known as The Melting Pot. The awareness and value of cultural diversity has become the spoon that stirs the pot. Cultural Diversity is more in the public conscious today, people are thinking about it more and talking about where before people kept to their own cultures. Cultural diversity has become important, it’s not that people are becoming more proud of their culture but are showing that they are proud and that their culture is just a great as everyone else’s culture.
I Hope to get a better understanding and gain more knowledge of different cultures and what makes them different from each other, from this class
