I decided to make this meme because I feel like this is how Jen feels as the Lumberjanes' camp councilor. Every time the Lumberjanes leave their cabin it seems like they find trouble. I think if Jen could express her feelings in memes this would definitely be how she feels, which is extremely frustrated with her campers.
I feel like this is how April was secretly feeling after the arm wrestling competition, especially after she was asked to teach arm wrestling. Personally, I could just picture April saying this afterwards instead of "I would have to charge".
I think that the Lumberjanes have a lot of weird and bad luck when it comes to their adventures at camp. The idea that they are going out to canoe to earn a badge only to get attacked by a river monster sums it up. I think this is exactly poor Mal's luck as well since she warns about dangerous things in the river. I think this is also fitting because later on in the book April says something along the lines of "our luck is bound to change" after the fall into the poison ivy and the boy's camp finds them. Overall, I think the lumberjanes have a lot of similarities to Bad Luck Brian in a sense.
I had trouble wording this meme, but I feel like the situation where the Lumberjanes fall into the poison ivy and are then helped by the boys is very fitting towards the socially awkward penguin meme. As April was saying, it felt like in this situation that their luck was changing, but then it takes a turn for the unexpected worst. I think this meme is fitting because it is like the Lumberjanes made one step forward and then took two steps backwards.
I think you did a great job on these memes! They relate directly to the book and definitely made me laugh. I could honestly see Jen tweeting the first one if she had a twitter. Also, I know you said that you had trouble wording the last one, but it is actually my favorite! In regards to changing luck/awkward penguin, (or whatever it is called) I feel like it relates to the entire theme of the novel.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on these! (Literally everyone is so on point with this prompt so far). The Bad Luck Brian one is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteHi Carleigh,
ReplyDeleteThese memes fit very well with the comic series and the post itself is well formatted with the layout and spacing of images + text. I particularly like the Bad Like Brian meme because I think it captures not only their bad luck, but also a certain nerdy awkwardness about Mal (even though outwardy she looks punkrock). Her love for the discovery channel and constant anxieties about looming dangers would more stereotypically be associated with someone who looks like Bad Luck Brian, so this meme also speaks to the way that Lumberjanes breaks some of these stereotypes.
