Abstract
For this project I chose to focus on graphic novels that have a lead female character. I chose graphic novels because I feel that most teachers don't want to use them in their classrooms and I believe that most young adults would be interested in reading them in school as many of them do on their own time. Most young adults think that graphic novels are more fun than books because it is basically a comic. Teachers can make use of this in their classroom by selecting the right types of graphic novels that have a teachable message in them. I focused on female lead characters to focus more on girls and the issues that they have to deal with. It is up to the teacher exactly which graphic novels are suitable for the classroom. It is obvious that there are going to be many graphic novels that are too violent or too sexual to be taught but there are many that focus on other subject such as the graphic novel Maus which deals with WWII. I chose five graphic novels for this project, "Persepolis" and Persepolis 2" by Marjane Satrapi, "One Hundred Demons" by Linda Barry, "The Tale of One Bad Rat" by Bryan Talbot and "Ghost World" by Daniel Clowes. Each of these graphic novels are geared towards young adults not only in their subject matter but also in their visual presentation. They all have main characters that try to find out who they are and what their relationships are to other people. All of the main characters realize something about themselves and eventually change in the end. I also referred to the English Journal article, "Using graphic novels, Anime, and the Internet in an Urban High School" by Nancy Frey and Douglas Fisher.
