“Graphic Memoirs Come of Age” by William Bradley/ "American Born Chinese" by Gene Luen Yang

In “Graphic Memoirs Come of Age”, William Bradley talks about how graphic novels are a form of literature and a more detailed and sophisticated version of comics. Bradley would go on to praise books that he is fond of such as "Are You My Mother" stating that the author uses visualization to sate her thoughts and make the story more clear. Different terms were used in this passage such as auto-bio comic and graphic memoir. While more works are considered by the readers to be comics, Bradley feels that their more like essays because of how much more complex they are. A lot of authors have trouble narrating their life, and not realizing that their is specific pattern to follow. In the end it is the writer's choice to decide what to leave out and what to emphasize on.
 "American Born Chinese" by Gene Luen Yang is a very influential graphic novel which teaches the readers the right way to act in life and society. I believe the moral of the story is that one should not be too greedy and should not seek for more if they already have enough. Greediness and desire for power can lead to consequences and can hurt the ones you care about.
