"Two Questions" Summary & Response

The literacy narrative I liked the most was the comic by Lynda Barry called “Two Questions.” The literacy was about a women, that changed her drawings and story making over the years. As a little girl, she could be as creative as she wants because no on was there to tell her that it was bad or it didn’t make sense. As she got older and went to school there was more people there to judge her drawings and she started asking herself. “Is this good?” or  “Does this suck?” Instead of not caring she started changing her drawings to what other people wanted and it was harder for to be creative. As she grew older and older, she struggled with those questions but eventually she remembered her child hood. She started drawing through herself and didn’t worry about other people.
I think everyone can agree with this literacy. As a child I would draw and write and I wouldn’t care if it didn’t make sense because no one was there to judge it. As I got older I started writing in a more structured or proper way to get a good grade in school, stead of writing more freely. I do not draw or write when I have free time anymore. But, there are very few people that do. With cell phones and all the new technology we find better things to do instead of drawing and writing. I think if I would have kept writing, maybe today I would be a better writer and know how to be more creative but its to late to tell. Overall, I really liked this narrative by Lynda Barry and it was very easy to relate too.
