 For my final hurrah for Non-Fictional Prose I decided to make a graphic novel. My decision came from a desire to revisit some things that I had resisted within the class. Graphic novels were something that I resisted in Literary Kinds, and something that we returned to again in this class. My graphic novel traces the learning that I went through in this class, and as we were all so hard on poor Arne, I dedicated a portion of my novel to his ecology of wisdom; just something to highlight what the ecological costs of many things are, things that we don't always think about. 

Is my graphic novel "the truth?" How much is fact versus how much is fiction? That is something that I will leave up to the readers to determine...

It is not only science that teaches us to be skeptical through the use of the scientific method process. Carl Sagan argues that people should be more skeptical of things that cannot be proven, things for which there is no evidence, and that a way to do this is by learning the art of real science: a science that gives you empirical evidence for human existence and all the things that go with it.
