Balnkets!

The first panel I found interesting and would like to discuss is on page 13 where the boys are getting in trouble for not going to sleep. I found it very interesting how Craig's dad gets so much bigger than the boys as he's yelling at them. I think this is to show his authority over them and I think it does a very good job at showing this.

The next panel I would like to talk about is page 32 when Phil is watching Tom and Jerry. I think this is sort of comparing the relationships of Tom and Jerry to Phil and Craig. It seems as if Craig doesn't like his little brother much and in the panel you see Phil says "Run Jerry Run!". And then you see Craig say, "I hope Jerry runs off a cliff". So, I definitely think the author is trying to relate the two relationships at this point in the story in some way. 

The final panel I would like to discuss is on page 190, but is something I also noticed a lot throughout the entire book. I found this book to be very multimodal, especially in the sense that I feel like I can hear everything going on in the book. On this page especially when it says "sniff sniff" by Ben's face. I felt like I could completely hear the sound of this especially because of the winter scene this panel takes place in, when its common to get the sniffles when it is so cold out. Also, when Raina's sister is attacking Craig, sitting on his back. You see the words "pat pat" and "ha ha ha" as she's hitting him on the back and joking around with him.
