The reading of this graphic novel will engage students in critical discussions about religion, gender roles, politics, and diverse cultures. Many of my students possess prior knowledge about American and Latino culture; however, there is a deficit of information when it comes to cultures outside of their own. To call to attention the idea of what we think about a different culture is based on a set of stereotypes and assumptions, often meant to undermine, is the first step in changing the attitudes of students. It is also necessary to educate students on the reality of the representations and bias of media outlets. Because the story is a graphic novel, the students engage visually, a skill that comes naturally to them because of the visual world in which they have grown up in. Readers find this text engaging, not only because the main character is charismatic, but also because of the way the story is told through.
