Trickster Tales

The “Raven the Trickster” was at first confusing. I did not understand what the meaning of this graphic novel was. Then after rereading it I understood it a little better. The part that I found interesting was when the raven was inside the whale and met a lady. Then the lady left to get the raven some food but never came back. Was she really there or was that in the raven’s imagination? Also when the hunters killed the whale and the raven came out did the lady die with the whale did she also escape? Overall the novel was interesting to read. The other graphic novel “The Wolf and the Mink” was similar to the raven graphic novel but I believe the moral was different. The moral of the raven was that you need to be careful with who you trust because they can easily trick you and you would not even expect it. The wolf novel on the other hand, its moral was that even those that are very close to you can trick you. We are very use to strangers being the ones to trick or harm you that we forget those who love us the most are the ones who can hurt us the easiest. That was why it was so easy for the wolf to eat the mink’s food and the mink not even notice. So far these have been my favorite graphic novels. They may seem as they are graphic novels for children, but once you read it you realize that the children will not fully understand it and that they are more for an older crowd.
