Week 10
The assigned comic conveys the idea of Asians' stress. The little angry girl is apparently born in a traditional Asian family with all the orders around and hence she felt stressful. That the angry little was wondering what she could talk back was also my story when I was young. In my family, parents seem to have the infinite authority and I, as a kid, had no choice but to be obedient while with complaints in my heart. Somehow I could associate the little angry girl's anger to everything around her with her family background and her ethnicity. I checked out www.angrylittlegirls.com/ and read other comics. I guess the author also meant to choose a Asian character to make it easier for her to express some unfairness, discriminations against the minority--most of the time, it refers to non-Caucasians. Some other times, the comics just express the emotional side of human beings, which is kinda ironic.
Q: Why does the author chose to use a little girl instead of a grownup for her comics?
