7th Post- "Trickster Tales" by Matt Dembicki
In the, Trickster Tales, by Matt Dembicki, two graphic novels are presented, Raven the Trickster, by John Active and, The Wolf and The Mix, as told by Elaine Grinnell. Active's graphic novel caught my attention the most because I had made a prediction, and the conclusion was completely different from what I had expected. After reading the panel, when the raven flew into the beluga whale's mouth, I predicted that the bird was going to die. Several panels later, I was informed of a "whole new world" that was inside of the beluga. A question I had about this section was, what was the writer trying to accomplish in this section? As I continued reading I realized that the raven was indeed very mischievous. He continued on placing himself in many life treating obstacles. Was the raven supposed to represent a thrill seeker, and the dangers of being one? Since my original prediction was that the raven was going to have a short life, in my opinion, this graphic novel appeared incomplete. Am I the only one who interpreted it this way?

Estefhany the story did seem to be missing something. I felt the raven's actions were very random and I couldn't see the point in any of them. In addition, I also could not understand what the author was trying to say in the part with the woman and the lamp. However, your opinion about the raven being a thrill seeker makes a lot of sense and is something I did not see. It could explain the random actions since thrill seekers don't usually plan or think but instead just act.
