9 of 1: Story
|
|
A personal and strikingly unflinching rendering of current events and their continuing consequences, 9 of 1 is sure to generate deserved attention as a redefinition of how comics can comment upon the world around us.
Little did the students of James Madison High School know that their lives would be changed the morning of September 11, 2001. Shaken from their comfortable California lifestyles as if from a dream, they are forced to confront a world spinning out of control.
Accepting this reality, their 11th grade history teacher compels each of them to interview strangers within their local community to see how people can have different perspectives of one event. 9 of 1 examines the reports of nine students' and the intimate, riveting, and controversial stories of the people they interview.
This graphic novel bridges the gaps between opinions and cultures to show how people must understand others' legacies to collectively reach a common ground.
