Review Of Art Spiegelman's In The Shadow Of No Towers Comic Strip

Many People are still affected emotionally by September 11 2001 today. A huge number of people are still facing mental health issues. They are trying very hard to forget about the past and move on with there every day life. Many still fear that there might be another terror attack in the United States. The American psychological association found that people living in New York who have experienced the World Trade Center attack are showing more mental health problems more than any other place. Many people feel that we should honor our love one and the police and fireman that lost their lives because of 9/11. The National September 11 memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center has been established to honor the dead and respect the historic site of America’s tragic loss. The memorial was opened on September 11 2011. It consist of two huge pools with the nation’s largest human=made waterfalls located on the site between the two fallen towers. The name of those who died at the WTC, pentagon, and in Pennsylvania aboard flight 93 . The Museum presents a gallery that tells the story of 9/11. It contains artifacts, photographs and multimedia display.

In addition, the image "Firefighters at Twin Towers attack" Photograph by Todd Maisel by is distinctively visual as it challenges perceptions about the rescuers being invincible as they are presented in a defenceless state. The image depicts the struggle of the rescuers from the impact of the destruction of the 9/11 attack on the twin towers in New York in September 11th 2001. The composer portrays the image of the rescuers being a protection and guardian for the man as they carry him away from the destruction and smoke behind them. This is visually represented through the symbolism of firefighter’s uniform is ironic of them dishevelled and covered in ash showing them as invincible and getting away from the attack. Also, the close proximity of the three figures emphasizes seeking safety through connection. Furthermore, the image distinctively depicts the idea of the rescuers being defenceless through the gaze of the figure on right is directed at the camera, imploring whilst the two other figures

Smoke and dust everywhere, people running in and out of the world trade centers some people not making it at all. September 11, 2001 was a day that America will never forget, terrorists hijacked two planes specifically and used them as as missile to launch into the world trade centers. In the photo, the flag functions as a symbol for the idea that America will not be defeated.

What the terrorists did not know was that even with the most heartache event in American history, America still overcame this disaster and raised the American flag from the ground. As you can see in the picture, the buildings have crumbled from a strike of hate. There are metal pieces that were part of the building that are still standing. By the way the firefighters’ outfits look, you can tell that the towers have collapsed not long before they started to raise the flag. In the background, there is dark dust and metal scraps stacked like

The first image I choose was the picture of the American flag with the words “Never Forget” underneath it. I choose this because 9/11 was truly a horrific that should never be forgotten. We should never forget the people who died in the attack and the people who died trying to save people caught in the debris. The second image I choose was the picture of the 9/11 memorial. The 9/11 memorial has the names of everybody who died in this attack inscribed on it. It is a place were people go to honor the dead and a place people got to remember the atrocities of 9/11. The next image I choose was the picture of the twin towers. The twin towers were the buildings that were attacked on 9/11 and are a very important detail in remembering the event. The

New York City is and forever will be the place to be, we are literally the most visited state besides California, Florida, Texas, and, Nevada. But even after the tragedies New York is still able to look beautiful with theses nice big buildings, Theaters,and etc, even though that's true New York City can't really be the same again after 9/11. The readings of “The Colossus of New York” by Colson Whitehead and “The Dead Of September 11” by Toni Morrison they both speak on the event of 9/11 , but Morrison’s poem is more heartfelt and sad because she uses a more direct approach to get the audience's attention.

Seeing this symbol typically makes Americans angry and motivated for war, which makes it of great significance in the use of propaganda. The background in this poster uses both dark and light colored clouds with some blue sky peeking through. The smoke-like clouds in this scene indicate that there may be fire somewhere in the distance. This fire could possibly be Nazi fires in Europe destroying European liberties. These fires appear to be far away which suggests that they have not reached America yet but have the potential to become hazardous to Americans.

The image shows the type of protest, how it was handled, the feelings of some of the people and how each side responded. Although the picture shows a biased view of the situation, it can demonstrate the tension between both sides and how they reacted. The foreground has a protestor in it showing the viewer what they are doing. The middle ground is empty, creating a distinct boundary between both sides. While the background has police moving in and passing right past the anti-police graffiti, paying it no mind. The overall image is the perspective of a protestor, and it captures the fear, bravery, and compassion of the

The books Maus I and Maus II, written by Art Spiegelman over a thirteen-year period from 1978-1991, are books that on the surface are written about the Holocaust. The books specifically relate to the author’s father’s experiences pre and post-war as well as his experiences in Auschwitz. The book also explores the author’s very complex relationship between himself and his father, and how the Holocaust further complicates this relationship. On a deeper level the book also dances around the idea of victims, perpetrators, and bystanders. The two books are presented in a very interesting way; they are shown in comic form, which provides the ability for Spiegelman to incorporate numerous ideas and complexities to his work.

This image is from an artist names banksy which took an original photo of Nick Ut of a bombing and created something extraordinary and eerie. The name of the image is Napalm. The image is mainly focused around color, position, and characters. At first glance the image looks grainy and somewhat unclear. In the middle there is a girl that has a terrified look that is being held by the wrists. The characters Mickey Mouse and Ronald Mcdonald are the ones holding the child. The child's face looks like a mixture of being terrified and happy like if she is being forced to have fun by the characters besides her.

This cartoon depicts the crumbling of the Clinton campaign as well as the crumbling of the Clinton Foundation. In the image, the ground splits the cartoon into two equal parts. One, the Clinton campaign and Hillary Clinton herself, and two, the Clinton Foundation. Both can be seen as falling apart by noticing the crumbling bricks of the statue and the fact that the statue itself is only standing on a thin ribbon of ground. Also, neither the statue nor her nameplate include any color depicting that she may have lost some of her luster. Another compelling image is the statue is looking up and to the right which can portray lying. One of the largest images are the two arrows in the piece. They both point to the left signifying that both Hillary

The picture has only white and black. Ground, stars, people, and a barbed-wires are printed white, and night sky is colored black. One man is lying and another seems to be tripped. Wooden posts are sticked everywhere, and some of those are broken.

There's not many things going on in this image, it's simple but strong. It's not meant to persuade or inform anyone, it's only purpose is to get into one's conscious and it does this in a very particular way. The image was taken in the early 1800’s and only reflects black and white shades. The shadows of black in

The unjust imagery used is the rows of graves- the soldiers dying for their country for no actual reason, the oil pumps burning is a symbol of the American economy that is getting worse by the day, and then the White House in the background- it almost seems like the artist deliberately placed it behind everything, it seems to be hiding, it can also depict the fact that the government is hiding important information from the people. The White House, who should protect all rights, are actually causing war and death through their fight and claim to fame for sole ownership of oil.

The hole in the ground represents the fake news covering almost the entire third quarter bottom part of the image. To the right is a man (wearing a light green sweat shirt with USA letters, light blue pants, black belt, and a hat. I assume he represent the USA) is busy with his cellphone not paying attention to his surrounding that he is about to fall into the hole. The man’s right foot is on the hole while the left foot still in the ground. This illustrates that the man has a fifty/fifty chance of getting hurt. To the left is a big warning sign made of wood: “DANGER FAKE NEWS HOLE” in all caps letter with big arrow pointing down the ground and a yellow bulb signage on the top. The ground is cracked and uneven with stone debris closed to the hole. In the top are barricades made of cement, painted with yellow in the top, light green in the middle and white in the bottom. Using the right lightings, black background and right color such as yellow for cautions made the hole the focal point of the image that captured the message “DANGER
