Ghost World and Nostalgia: How Does Ghost World Depict a "Ghost World"?

In Daniel Clowes' graphic novel Ghost World, much of Enid's interaction with her world is filtered through the lens of nostalgia: in trying to find her "true self," she tries on different "looks" from the past. The culture she lives in is something that both fascinates and frustrates her. By identifying and analyzing Enid's possessions and interests, and how this comics text tells her story, answer the question "how does Ghost World depict a "Ghost World"?

Your essay should use the graphic novel to write about as your primary source, which means that you will quote from it extensively to support your arguments. Since this is a research essay, you will also be using secondary sources to explain and support your thesis: you need to refer to at least four relevant and appropriate research sources in your essay, one of which must be Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics. Give reference.
