The next thing we talked about pertaining to Part 3 was the idea of intercalary chapters. Intercalary chapters are chapters whose subjects digress from the main plot-line. Chapter 13 is an intercalary chapter because it talks about the adventures of Luna Moth rather than Joe and Sammy.
We also talked about how Rosa is an incarnation of Luna Moth. The invention of Luna Moth is a progression for Sammy and Joe that shows the evolution of their work from copy to pure creation. This is because initially Anapol asked them to make a Superman, which was inspired by Joe's anger with Hitler and what he was doing to Joe's homeland and family. The Escapist was powered by anger, while Luna Moth was created from pure imagination. The creation of Luna Moth may have also been driven by the limits that Empire Comics was starting to put on The Escapist. In a prominent example, Jack Ashkenazy, the boss of Joe and Sammy, tells them that they need to tone down the aggression towards Nazis in their comic book because it was causing them business problems. Empire Comics wanted to make a deal with a sock company, but because the CEO of the company was German, he did not want to work with Empire Comics in result of their offensive comic book.
The next topic we addressed was the name of Part 4: The Golden Age. We said that Golden Age had the connotations of money and the high point of careers/relationships, but most importantly that "they don't last". In history, we know that any Golden Age that a country or continent has experienced is temporary, or the nation would be thriving to this day. Some ideas were that Sammy and Joe's "big money" was not going to last, and their comic book company was going to fail later. Another idea was that the two of them were going to break off from Empire Comics and they were going to start doing better than they were before.

The next scribe will beeeeeeeeeee ALEXYS!
The description on Luna Moth really helped me. I liked how in depth it went, yet it left out obvious things which was good because people who read that part, should know enough about it. Great Job! Thank you for being our "first" scribe of 2011!

ReplyDeleteLuna Moth was also created because they thought they could get more money for her. The contract that they signed for The Escapist didn't give them money for radio or merchandise, but they wanted a better contract for Luna Moth.
ReplyDeleteI like how you included everything in your scribe post. You didn't go on forever but your post really helped me to remember what we discussed on Friday. Job well done! It's good that you added the picture of Luna Moth too! Visuals also help one jog their memory.
ReplyDeleteIt's really helpful how you were able to capture the whole conversation but focus on just the really important parts, because it helps me to remember what was important in the conversation.

The description of "The Golden Age" was very clear. The way it is described made a lot of sense. It was neat how you added predictions of events that would happen several sections in the future. The post was very clear and easy to understand. Great job.
