In Class Discussion on Look Out, The Saints Are Coming Through

What is your reaction to the text you just read?

 This short story is very confusing. I could not find any relation between Bob Dylan’s song. The main character’s background is very vague and confuse. We do not know how he becomes a violence person and never gets into character’s mind. Really confuse the short story. Also, the structure of the short story is confusing because of the chapter start with  XII chapter.

What connections did you make with the story?

• Discuss the elements of the work with which you were able to connect

Unfortunately, I could not understand at all about the story. I know the Bob Dylan but never hear his song before. The only thing that I can make a connection is relationship and marriage. The two main character in a relationship but the male character is very violent and the female character has a smart brother and she has little of the humor. Also few reference of the Bob Dylan. 

What change would you make to adapt this story into another medium?

• What changes would you make?

I think graphic novel is works to this story, because if this is movie or drama could be confuse but the comic book contain the drawing. The comic book is people easily to approach the subjects. Explaining by drawing is more easily understandable with that.
