In addition to re-reading the book critically, I will be copying his art style with the intention of picking up a few of Thompson’s ‘tricks’. I have chosen to review Blankets in the hopes of gaining a greater understanding of how the text works so effectively. Thompson proves with Blankets the incredible power of the sequential art narrative medium when wielded by a highly skilled practitioner of the craft. Blankets was given to me by my amazing principal supervisor to read around a year ago, and I think I must have finished it in the course of an evening (reading very late into the night!)

EveryoneĪtheneum steps along with dozens of other gawkers. Zach went down to India Street to look at the ruined Atheneum steps along with dozens of other gawkers. He couldn’t bear to stay at home and listen to his father complain about the team missing football practice when all he was really complaining about was spending another day separated from his three star athletes-the amazing Delos boys. He jogged for a few blocks, just to put some distance between himself and his dad. It was the “storm” that demolished half the town, not the freaky new family that can outrun cars. Yeah, right, Zach thought, as he walked out his front door. ![]() Power still hadn’t been restored to certain parts of the island, and several streets in the center of town were impassable due to damage done by the storm. ![]() Dedication For my husband, with all of my loveĬontents Cover Title Page Dedication PROLOGUE CHAPTER ONE CHAPTER TWO CHAPTER THREE CHAPTER FOUR CHAPTER FIVE CHAPTER SIXĬHAPTER SEVEN CHAPTER EIGHT CHAPTER NINE CHAPTER TEN CHAPTER ELEVEN CHAPTER TWELVE CHAPTER THIRTEEN CHAPTER FOURTEEN CHAPTER FIFTEEN CHAPTER SIXTEEN CHAPTER SEVENTEEN CHAPTER EIGHTEEN Acknowledgments About the Author Credits Back Ad Copyright About the Publisher ![]() ![]() “How much longer will I be expected to starve?” Vataea yells at Suntosans, leaning dramatically over the bow. But that doesn’t mean my cabin fever isn’t settling in I’m dying to get off this ship. If my people must suffer, then it’s only right that I suffer alongside them and ensure their safety first. Though the crew and I would likely be able to be expedited and go to shore earlier due to my status, it doesn’t feel right to pull the royal card, here. Even if we wanted to leave, the bay has been blockaded by Suntosan ships, and sailors are stuck here until we can be examined and confirmed healthy. Though only a few have been infected, it’s enough of a threat that the healers are being vigilant about not letting the disease spread into their island. ![]() No one can come ashore, and no one can leave due to a deadly disease spreading through the islands. The shores of Suntosu have been barricaded for three days, now. My stomach aches to be in that line, rather than trapped here on the deck of Keel Haul. It snarls as I lean against the bow, glaring past the emerald bay and at the Suntosans who wait upon it, searing meats and stirring stews that they dole out to a line of hungry residents. The scent of roasting venison turns my stomach into a beast. ![]() |
