ASSIGNMENT: The Walking Dead Cover
the Walking Dead Front Cover Assignment Instructions
In a Word document, complete the following assignment in MLA format.
The following questions are specific to the front cover of the graphic novel. You do not need to write an essay or even a formal response to the following questions. The questions are meant, however, to help you analyze the photo. (What messages is the photo sending other than the obvious one that it wants to send—the obvious one being that they want you to think that this is a happy family?) You may use this Word document and fill in the answers beneath the questions OR you may open a new Word document and write your thoughts down there. Once complete, save and then submit to the ‘TWD Cover’ link in the folder entitled The Walking Dead.
To begin, please focus on the picture of the family (try to avoid the frame, glass, and surrounding objects for now). Based on the picture only: what guesses can you make about this family? What type of neighborhood do they live in, do you imagine? What kind of dad and person is Rick? What kind of mom is Lori? Where in their home might we find this picture displayed?
Now—cover the mouths of the family and look at their eyes. Are they really happy? What might be on Rick’s mind? Lori’s? Why do you think this?
Now—look at the frame and glass. What does the broken glass foreshadow? What about the surrounding bullets and blood splatters? Look at where they are located and make a guess about each person in the picture.
Once you have completed this assignment, please begin reading the ENTIRE book, including the introduction.
