Berger and McCloud discussion

1. McCloud talks about the simplicity of a drawn character increasing how much we will identify with it. Do you think this applies in all cases?

2. If more realistic appearances objectify something, then how is it that we can recognize ourselves in a mirror? Is it merely by a matter of repetition that we come to see that reflection as ourselves, or is there something more? If we saw a face that mirrored our intended movements, wouldn't we identify with it, as well?

3. McCloud mentions how we say, when driving a car, "He hit me!" instead of making the distinction that the car was hit by another car. Is this a matter of identity, or simply a fluke in the English language?
