Coraline

Prior to reading this graphic novel, I actually saw the Coraline movie and I was thoroughly freaked out. When I learned that we would be reading that particular novel in the class, I was actually frightened. Although the overall story did have a very gloomy and creepy mood, there were definitely some lessons that could be taken away from the overall timeline of events. One thing that I definitely learned was that parents play a very important role in what a child develops into. I would have liked to read more of the story and see how Coraline develops as a person so that way I could truly see how much of an impact her parents had on her.
