Write 500 words following these instructions Please cite a passage from the book:

Engage critically with the readings for the week (cite a passage from the primary text)
Pose an original discussion question
You may write about anything you want that relates to the text we so long as you engage critically with the work and pose a discussion question. A great starting point would be to choose something from the “Discussion Forum Possibilities” you can feel free to discuss other things beyond these literary elements, including pedagogical uses of and critical debates about the text.
I encourage you to think broadly and creatively about material your peers will find interesting. You might incorporate images, video, or sound; link to online resources of interest; pull quotes from our reading or related material; or consider connections between works we are studying and others you’ve encountered.
You MUST use direct quotes to cite passages or images in the text as evidence of what you are arguing/discussing/noticing.
discussion possibilities:
Choose any spread in the comic and discuss the significance of panel transition and time in the comic.
How is the father/son relationship depicted in A Different Pond? Choose any image to discuss.
Examine the author’s note at the end of the comic, and discuss how the information and images presented impact your reading of the narrative.
How would you characterize the illustrations in A Different Pond? Examine the way Bao Phi uses poetic elements in the narration and the way Thi Bui uses color and line style.
