Parallel (Writing):
Even though Seagle hates the superman comics, I believe that he and superman are almost equals. Seagle writes about a seventh grade boy named Jason Dobson who does not have any friends. For Halloween, Jason dresses up as superman and gains popularity from some of the girls and guys. But the next day, nobody talks to him; he is back to his old self. I feel that Seagle parallels himself as Jason Dobson; a kid who is on his own in the world but once is in the superman costume, is like a celebrity. If Seagle takes the position as the new superman writer, he will feel like a celebrity.
Parallel (Visual):
All of Seagles drawing are in dark colors. The only color you see is from the superman costume and Seagles moms hair. These two scenes stand out in the book because of the pop of color. Both Supermans cape and Seagles moms hair are red, which give the pop of color. I believe that this is a parallel because of both of them being important things in Seagles life. Seagle has to be there for his mom in the search of finding his dad, while he also has to make an important decision in drawing superman.
Will the Stephan Seagle Please Stand up?
Older Stephan Seagle comes off as having a rude personality while young Stephan Seagle has innocence. Younger Stephan has the innocence that all young children have and it makes me feel as if Seagle has had a traumatizing life event and that is why his adult self comes off as a rude and depressed character.
