Thesis statment

How are multimodal elements used in the book American Born Chinese?

When The characters sigh or make other noises you can hear them.
With the descriptions your imagination comes up with a picture.

i think this is a good idea. There is a lot to work with...maybe pick s few panels where there is 'sound' so you can do a close read, that way you don't have too much to work with all at once.

I agree with Ashley. I'd begin by first choosing a specific set of panels you want to work with, and then writing your paper around these, so that the paper does not become too "big" or too general. Make sure your question is stated as a thesis. I think this is a great idea, and lots to work with here :) By the way, your baby is beautiful!
