Stitches Journal #2

Contrast: David's mother tells him that money is in short supply and that his growth cannot be removed(122), however his mom and dad go on a shopping spree once they come into money instead of removing the growth(137). This contrast illustrates how his parents value their luxuries over David's health.
Question: Is the figure in the image on the bottom of 111 covered by two streaks of light as a symbol of lesbians having to hide in the dark?
Shots: The illustrator uses different shots to show seemingly ordinary tasks differently such as on 110 with ringing the doorbell and on 128 with taking a picture. However, the shots are very similar to those in films. On 128 the shot is looking down on David as he feels uncomfortable. The close up shots are used to capture the feelings of characters and understanding between others. The distance shots are used to capture the entire scene and to help put the characters actions in perspective with society. Some angles are directed upwards to portray characters as angry and mean.
