Hinds’ graphic novel adaptation of The Odyssey is a serious work of art that honors Homer and the original text. The alterations can be considered to have taken place to make the plot move faster to keep the reader engaged. At the same time, the original’s six-day period of the crew feasting on the divine cattle only took a few moments in Hinds’ adaptation. The graphic novel omits these details and only displays the main character’s story side (Hinds, 2010). For example, arriving at the island where Helios kept his divine cattle, followed by the starving crew devouring that cattle, the original text described Helios’ reaction to the passing events (Homer, 2003). Another example of novel variations is the faster pace omitting some subplots and descriptions. After starting the novel, the first difference that a reader might immediately notice is that the characters do not speak in poetic form like in the original. The graphic novel’s art is accompanied by the text of The Odyssey, providing more description and detail. However, teenage boys will do what teenage boys inevitably will do and both Michael and Francis get involved with some unsavory characters throughout their youth. Ruth, as a single mother raising two sons on her own, does the best that she can by enforcing rules in her household such as staying indoors, keeping the TV off, and speaking the Queen’s English as opposed to using slang in her presence. The Jamaican-Canadian brothers live in a small apartment with mother Ruth (Marsha Stephanie Blake).

He examines the boundaries between Native American tribes, boundaries the Blackhawk War created, which transformed the city from trade outpost to an emerging cosmopolitan center. They need each other, just as they need the larger natural world which sustains them both” (18).Ĭronon uses boundaries to set the stage of what would become Nineteenth Century metropolis Chicago. “Their isolation is an illusion, for the world of civilized humanity is very nearly created in the continuing moment of their encounter. He argues that the city of Chicago or its outlying regions, the hinterlands, cannot be historically understood independent of each other. Most importantly, and repeatedly, throughout Nature’s Metropolis, Cronon wants to drive home the fact that city and country, urban and rural are linked and one cannot exist without the other. Nineteenth-century Chicago, for Cronon, was the central player in creating the economy and the landscape of what is currently considered the Mid-West. In what best could be described as a combined economic and environmental history that borders on an autobiography of the author’s childhood, Cronon plants himself and his research in Chicago. What are boundaries? What separates one region of America from another, and if they are separate were they once connected? If they were connected, how did these connections create growth without stymieing one another? These are just a few of the questions that William Cronon tries to answer in Nature’s Metropolis.
