learning is a social advancement that involves language‚ real world situations‚ and interaction and collaboration among learners. The learners are considered to be central in the learning process. Learning is affected by our prejudices‚ experiences‚ the time in which we live‚ and both physical and mental maturity or experiences.

Artist’s Statement I chose “A Man Who Had No Eyes” to illstrate because the cover of the short story was very eye-catching. The cover is black and white with an old man holding a cane and a hat.

The part that my graphic novel adaptation wanted to show was the difference between Mr. Parsons and Mr
