My LA Comic

For LA, my class (D period) read wisdom tales. These tales serve the purpose of teaching younger generations ethical morals and principals. Likely, you might have been told or read a wisdom tale by your parents when you were little. These tales can take many forms. Tall tales, fairy tales, fables and apologues (shorts stories or poems that have anthropomorphized objects, plants or creatures or forces of nature) or parables (the same thing as an apologue or parable but with humans). After making a list of the wisdom tales and their morals my class created comics of them. I chose to make a comic of the wisdom tale “The Wild Strawberry,” which originated in Japan. This solemn story tells the tale of a man who is getting chased by a tiger, and jumps on a vine at the edge of a cliff were the tiger can’t get him. After realizing there is another tiger below him, the man also realizes there are rats chewing at the vine. The man knows he’s going to fall to his death. But the man soon notices a wild strawberry also hanging on the vine. The man eats the strawberry, and it was the best strawberry he ever ate. The moral is to enjoy the little and seemingly humble things in life, or just life in general, because you only live once. Here are the pictures of my comic—I hope you like them!
