LA Home Learning Comic Strip

a comic strip!


Main theme: Identity


- Why did you choose the different pictures or background(s)?

Each different background of each small grid shows the setting where the character was or even what he was doing. For example, the backgrouds like Sentosa, the Merlion, all show that the character was sightseeing at that point of time.

- How do they contribute to the elements (plot, setting, characterisation) of your narrative?

The main idea of this entire thing is that the character is someone who have not been to Singapore for 30 years, returns on a leisure trip and he thus sees all the difference from 1980s Singapore. The settings are just the usual places tourists go to whenever they come to Singapore. The comic also tells the reader that the character is quite an active person as he was sightseeing and enjoying himself for the entire 3-day trip.

- How did you make use of the different elements to contribute to the theme you have chosen?

All those places depicted in the comic, including the food represents what is Singapore and a Singaporean should be proud of himself/herself for being a Singaporean. The character's personality, which is quite playful, active, allows me to put in more different pictures showing Singapore's tourist attractions.
