Text-Based Genre Memoir Proposal
I decide to use comic strip to express my memoir. Because comic is a combination of both visual and linguistic mode. I will use comic stripes and divided it into 6-10 panels to tell my story. I think this form of memoir is more interesting and attractive than merely an article. Moreover, using comic to express is much more lively and more likely to evoke the audience’s empathy.
Firstly, I will write a script for my comic. I will tell a story of mine when I was young. It is a story about me and my neighborhood. The story will include how my neighborhood was warmhearted and helped me out when I was lost. Through this story, I want to demonstrate that my hometown is a place where people are very hospitable and friendly. This is the place where I was born and raised, I was deeply impacted by this place and people here. I was grown up in a congenial place and I learned a lot from people here. As a result, I become the same kind of person who is very amiable.
I prefer modern Japanese style manga comic to American style comic. Because I am more familiar with Japanese style manga than American comic. And most of American comic is about super heroes and Japanese mango is more casual and appropriate to tell a story to warm your heart. Moreover, it will be colorful not only black and white.
