History is ugly. Everyone knows it is full of violence and death, but it is also full of heroism, self-reflection, romance, intrigue, and achievements which have occurred against all odds. Why should we deny young people the opportunity to experience it through historical fiction graphic novels.
Such a novel is actually a comic book. Using comic books to relay events from the past, utilizing the same colorful language, exciting character development, and dramatic effect just might allow us to make young people understand why the world is the way it is. More than that, comic books have always inspired young readers to really Be-Somebody when they grow up.
More than novelists, however, as some of these young people grow up to create science fiction as fact. Many elements of basic physics have been woven into the stories of Marvel comics from the very beginning. As a young person begins to realize that some of this technology is actually being developed, they have a desire to be a part of that future.
Making history as fascinating to young people as the future just might change the whole spectrum of thought in a single generation. If young people were able to connect the information they learn in their textbooks to the events they experience in their lives, then the future changes. This connection of past to present has been denied us in our education by teachers who have no vision themselves.
You cannot excite a young person in any subject by forcing them to memorize names, dates, and events. These random bits of information might be retained long enough to pass an examination, but it is no real test of what they truly learned. The blood and gore gets taken out right along with the passion and bravery that is part of the story of mankind.
Naturally, subject matter has to be taught in a manner that is age-appropriate, and should be changing as such as the students grow. This should not mean that the genocide of invading corporate interests from Europe on the native tribes living on every continent gets watered down into the story of Thanksgiving. It does not mean that we teach them to be ashamed to be descended from Europeans, but that they learn to take pride in changing how we treat each other on Planet Earth.
There are a number of researchers diligently rewriting the lies our generation was handed for the past ten thousand years. We are finally able to use terms like alien technology in the overall discussion of theory. If we are to rewrite the misinformation and denial of blatant facts that is the history of history, then we must do this now before we let down yet another generation of students.
It is not merely the ignorance of our past that condemns us to repeat, but misinformation taught to generations of our young. When all students from all nations can connect past events with current events, then they are empowered to create a better future for themselves. If we deny them this power, then we deserve whatever future we get as punishment for letting them down on a worldwide scale.
