The book Sabrina & Corrina was incredibly beautiful and moving book. One that I really loved and honestly made me tear up a little bit was the story titled “All Her Names”. In it the main character goes on a nighttime graffiti adventure with her ex boyfriend after she finds out that she is pregnant with her husband. It’s a story about how scary and confusing life is and how you never really know where you’re going. I decided to do a drawing to show the different elements of the story. There’s two pregnancy tests for her two positive pregnancy's, etc. At the end of the story she thinks back to a moment when she was nineteen and she was out camping with her much older husband, and she looks out at the numerous stars and can’t find the north star. She remembers her father telling her if she’s ever lost that she should look for it, and when she tells her husband that she can’t see it he points it out implying she just can’t see it because she’s drunk. Then she lies telling him that she found it. This part was so beautiful and sad because this sweet 19 year old girl was already so lost in the world. I represented that moment by having the night sky coming out of the spray cans and the fire is lit by the santo candles that’s mentioned earlier in the story. The fire casts a warm glow across the drawing to show how that one moment stretched across the rest of the story. I loved this story and the rest of the book and I’m so excited to read more of her work.
