well in class on Wednesday we talked about paper topics we might write on for
Blankets and our group decided to talk about the broad range of visual framing. After we discussed this in the small group as I was reading chapters 6 and 7 I noticed the more subtle variations in framing more so than in the first few chapters. Specifically I took into account the fluidity of the frames that encompassed Craig and Raina, for example on pages 387 and 388. As time wears on in the scene and the situation becomes more emotional for the narrator, Craig, we can find that the frames begin to blend and break down into a quasi visual representation of how Faulkner's stream of conciseness diction might appear. Moreover the Framing that includes Raina have skewed time lines as can be seen on pages 404-406. The interaction with Raina causes Craigs emotions to break free from space, in the framing, and time, in the fluid transition into memory.
These Ideas were talked about in McCloud in chapter 4, page 103. He states " Time is no longer contained by the familiar icon of the CLOSED PANEL, but instead HEMORRHAGES and escapes into TIMELESS SPACE". This is exactly what is happening to the work when Craig and Raina every experience any emotional growth or trauma together.
