I think that the  author used an Asian painting exercise called “One Hundred Demons” is filled with rich visual images. I observed from cover to cover, the graphic novel is filled with bright watercolors. Because each chapter has different colored background, even the side of book are a rainbow of colors. I think the story is divided into different stories based on life experience that reflecting back on her loss of childhood innocence, family relationships, oppression, coming age, neglect and abuse. Each of those story is about a hardship she death with in her life. For instance, in the chapter, “Dance” she explains that almost everyone in her family danced with great pleasure. Then a casually cruel comment from an admired neighbor made her self-conscious enough to stop. In “Resilience” she explores the mistaken belief of some adults that young children who have experienced a trauma will somehow forget and move past it. For example Barry’s loss of innocence reveals her experimentation with boys, alcohol, drugs, lying and stealing, and suggests sexual abuse. Dancing was part of household culture growing up she was interested in hula dancing, and no concerned about appearance.  Here Barry allows speech balloons to fill in the gaps to which she mentions in her main text, with heart-wrenching effect. A more lighthearted story deals with the unique smells that permeate homes. Most of each story is told in text blocks at the top of the panel, while speech balloons convey specific details and characterizations. Barry’s artwork is almost childlike, and the uncomfortable of her drawings works well with the emotional tone her tales evoke. In the last few pages, at the end of the book may have some readers thinking, “That’s it?” The ending of the book leaves readers with a lot of questions and an urge to reflect on their own childhood experiences. I think she demonstrates the technique used for the original exercise and encourages readers to draw from their own experiences.

This is another poem that talks about books. However, not any ordinary book, but a biography. This poem in fact, starts with Whitman reading the “biography famous.” The author occasional “ending of the poem with a question is a tricky maneuver that does not always work” I observed that the poet’s ending of “When I Read the Book” with the parenthetical expression seems to have been equally risky. Therefore this poem need some consideration, especially in terms of the amplifications of its value on a particular rhetorical device. Apparently form of “When I Read the Book” as I will see, expresses the ambiguous rhetorical capacity of the parenthetical insertion to serve as either a digression from or an amplification of a main theme. The parenthetical mode of the poet’s search for a main theme in this poem is mention with aligned with the transcendentalist notion as particularly expressed “life” three time.

However, he immediately starts thinking and asks himself if this is really a man’s life. He also asks himself if this is what will happen to him too, after his death. He doesn’t like this idea, because no other man knows something, or at least enough about his life. Whitman himself states that he knows little or nothing of his own life. What he knows is only a few hints, faint clues, but nothing concrete. For example I think that the “indirections” by which Whitman meetings clues to his own life is apply as well to the parenthetical indirection in this poet to me is meaning that the poem exemplifies the artistic practice, where by Whitman manages a work so that readers enter its ambiance. So if I consider the opening line of the poem, apparently designed to encourage to the new generation reader to anticipate a poem identifiable in terms of tradition. This is likely expectation is augmented by the positioning of the word “famous” after the noun it modifies.

In an importance sense, I think that the poet is his own best audience. He like any other reader of the temporary, parenthetical autobiographical reflections in his poem, only indications inside the poet “Real life” as “a few hints, a few diffused faint clews and indirections.” In fact, I apparently I often think that in the fifth line is perceived as implicit parenthetical insertion, similar to the equally intrusive “said I” earlier, then at this stage the poet does not appears to go by himself, but subtract sore-self also gives the impression of withdrawing before his search for it.

Therefore, if not even he knows enough about his life, how can a stranger write about it? In “When I read the Book”, the tone is ironic but also polemic, for Whitman is asking the readers “how and what right does another person have to write a book about my life? There are several sentences that end with life, showing how Whitman cares for it, and considers it a major theme in this poem.
