Week One (Feedback)-Alice

Gutter

I found this graphic novel-exclusive jargon mentioned by Mr.Mcguigan and Ms.Brownrigg very interesting, because it made me think of how our brains work. Acutally, the process of filling in the gaps are done everyday; even when we read, our brain doesn't regester words as we think it does--it actually reads the first and the last letters of a word to figure it out!

here is an example =D

aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a tatol mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porblem. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

Interesting, eh?

As people read that, their brains unscramble the words to make them fit. I believe that is what happens when we are reading graphic novels, too.
