Peer Review Essay of Sarah Smith-Pittman’s 3.2 Assignment

to

“A.D. New Orleans After the Deluge”

by

Josh Neufeld

            Introduction:

Sarah, while your blog entry was rather short, I like the way it pinpointed the key mood of Neufeld expressing the urgency of the people regarding the deadly tragedy of human survival that they were literally trapped within. Your realization that Neufeld’s comic panels depicted a disturbing gap of injustice between the rich and poor was right on target.             

            Main Points;

I also believe as you, that this was surely one of Neufeld’s arguments and main message in creating this comic.  Although I don’t think entirely that having an education will always make the difference in being at the table and having resources always provided to you.  Tragedy has a way of striking all races, education levels of and economic classes (e.g. 9/11).

However, what I especially like about your writing was your realized obligation in being fortunate in having an education to help the poor and less advantaged in being as educated as you are.  Here I think was another message that Neufeld was trying to get across in his comic, and one I realize worked in your realization.  Yes, we all must do our part to help America live up to its creed of providing justice, equality and security to each and every citizen regardless of race, culture, religious preference or educational and economic level. 

            Conclusion:

So while your comment was brief, I think you said far more in a few words than many other students, as well as myself did in interpretively defining Neufeld’s comic using many words.  You have taught me that you don’t have to be wordy to be comprehensive and I think you.  All in all, I learned a great deal from reading your comment and while you gave no lengthy description of your method of writing, citing of quotes etc. you provided concise interpretation.
