Questions before I read

A real job

I’m interested with the title. I assumed that this comic will relate with our life in the future when we’re looking for a job.

What does the writer means by “A real job”?

Finished:

 I have finished reading this comic. For me this comic “ A real job” is quiet interesting, because it takes a real life issue where someone have to choose to be an idealist or a materialist.

 

Both are have bad and good side. You cannot be a full idealist person. On the other hand, you also can’t be a full materialist person. You have to balance it.

Unforgettable scene from the story

·         Picture 1

The first picture:

Is when Javi have lot of money, but he didn’t saved it for the future. His friends told him to be wise in spending a money, better to save it for your future rather.

Picture 2




The second picture:

Is when Javi run out of money.


    Anyway, the comic entitled ‘A real job’ is quiet interesting, because it takes a real life issue where someone have to choose to be an idealist or a materialist. Both are have bad and good side. You cannot be a full idealist person. On the other hand, you also can’t be a full materialist person. You have to balance it.
 If I had to rate this comic, I’ll give a score 75 0ut of 100. I give it 75 because the flow of the story quiet confusing, there is no time description (the flashback and the current time). For the story, I would say is good.
