Blankets

When reading Craig Thompson's Blankets, it really related to some of the experiences I had as a kid, not as violent in school, but the feeling of being lost or lonely with no one out to hear you. The main character in the comic is told in the first person and it really shows the inner depth of the author and what happened in his life. I really like the parts where he is telling us about his relationship with his brother, I think for those who have siblings can relate that you can get a lot of trouble for just playing with your sibling and then it turns into fighting. I have fought with my sister many times and I can understand the feeling of it going to far, and your younger sister is the one that gets punished, it really makes you feel guilty and I like that it showed that in the comic, how you're not going to be the perfect older sibling and it can be hard to protect them from what's to come.
