Jobnik

    I have to say that Jobnik is probably the most confusing thing I have read this semester. The discussion we had in class Wednesday on the history of Israel cleared up some of the questions I had but there are still a few things I don't quite understand.
    Something I'm unsure about is what's happening in the second half of page 65 where she is standing outside looking around and then suddenly starts falling over and ends up laying on the ground. I wonder if she is so amazed and overwhelmed by all the stars and planes in the sky that she just falls over but this can't be right because her face doesn't show this kind of emotion. Also, the way she falls over it looks like she got hit by something because of the way her arms are stretched out in front of her when she falls. I also don't like how much the story skips around. I understand it's supposed to be a journal and if she's not writing everyday the events aren't going to flow together that well but even all the events that happen in a single day don't connect with each other. One minute she is laying on the ground looking up at the sky and the next she's being asked by some woman for her papers. It makes the story hard to follow.
    I especially found it difficult to understand what was going on in the first few pages of the story because of how the different frames overlap and some of the word bubbles start in one frame but the words are actually in another (page 11). I wasn't sure what I should be reading first.
