During a lab from the previous week, I was expanded my annotation skills through utilizing a website known as Hypothesis. The website enabled me the ability to post public or private annotations to any online text or material. In class, the students were assigned a worksheet containing links to different articles regarding class readings. One task required me to create an annotation to an New York Times article reflecting Fun Home. It was interesting observing the various annotations  and  individual responses to each article because it revealed new and different perspectives. I discovered that online annotating provides an increased engagement to a piece of text through enhancing insight into others opinions or views. I realized reading the annotations of other  people influenced my reflection of the article.  The New York Times article revealed new information on themes contained in Fun Home. The article described the  concept of home through revealing the prevalence of  isolation among the family. It explained the diminished family relationships due to increasing interest of each family member’s individual pursuits. The father’s focus and dedication toward constructing his dream house refrained him from bonding with his children or wife. His kids began to feel like his personal workers or objects and believed the house received the most care and love of the family. It was interesting to read about the affect of the structure of the comic on the representation of themes. I support the idea that the use color and panels cause certain emotional reaction from the audience. The dull blue and grey colors in the images create negative or depressed mood. In “Fun Home,” the author’s color choices reflected the tone of the tragedy or sorrow described in the comic. The construction of the images combined this minimal sections of text increased my engagement into the story through viewing the physical appearance of the house and the characters. I enjoyed observing details of the house and the expressions of the family during different events.
