Asterios polyp

Asterios polyp

the story and how its layout is pretty interestingly. it seems to be be more focussed around the shapes and the illustration the try and communicate threw the story. when first looking threw the story it seem to be images supported by quotes. and you have to use the images to understand whats going on. Juxtaposition.


the story was a little hard because it seem to keep jumping around.it seems it takes place in the main characters mind. the transitions are pretty cool, where they sometimes use a symbol to help transition you to the next scene. I also enjoyed how the story seem to revolve around the main character and we look into his subconscious and see how he sees himself. he seems to show himself as this robot geometric shaped figure, that i feel fit very well with his personality and as a male. the story seems to use this tools to really give each character there own personality.  like when they are at the party towards the beginning of the story.  its also interesting to see how his life transitions from his old life to his new life and how he just seems to roll with it.  in the end this for me was a very fun a clever book.
