In the article by Brian Grasson a freshman student describes his opinion about how he feels when reading the book “Fun Home”. He describes the book “Fun Home” by saying that the book includes the cartoon drawings of a woman masturbating and how they are multiple womans engaging in oral sex. The student chooses not to do the assignment because he feels very uncomfortable with the subject and how he doesn’t feel comfortable on reading stories or books that involves suicide or ideas that he finds immoral. He says on (page 2 number 5)  that “if the book explored the same themes without sexual images or erotic language” that he would had read “Fun Home”. He also says that in the bible Jesus forbids his followers from exposing themselves to anything that's pornographic. Mostly as a Christian student he finds it very offensive and mostly when students believe in God they would feel uncomfortable seeing the inappropriate images. In my opinion I disagree with the freshman student because as a college professor he or she should have mentioned that the book “Fun Home” involves a lot of inappropriate cartoon drawings and a lot of sexuality. In my opinion Grasso focuses himself in the sexual images of the females instead of understanding them by reading the book himself. If the book is pornograpic it's  because Grasso has made them think that way not because Bechdel has. Grasso read the images as pornographic because he refuses to not read any of LGBTQ existence that Bechdel plans in Fun Home. Yes the book can be inappropriate but not everything in the book is all sexual and also because little kids might mistake Fun Home instead of a comic book.
