Introduction
The wonderful thing about graphic novels is that their images give them the opportunity to show readers what their characters actually look like, as well as what the setting looks like. They can direct the reader’s attention with pictures, words, and the juxtaposition of the two.
Initial Post Instructions
Consider “Prisoner on the Hell Planet: A Case History†and “The Veil†as opposed to “The Gilded Six-Bits†and “A Rose for Emily.†How does being able to see the setting and character alter your reading experience? Do you find that you focus more on location in one form or more on character in another?
Additionally, examine the sparse language used in both graphic stories. How important is the visual content to understanding the story? Do you feel either of these stories would be effective in a text only format?
Secondary Post Instructions
Some of you feel that the imagery of our graphic novel shorts lends to the stories. Others feel that the imagery weakens the story. Seek out classmates who have expressed an opinion different than your own. Read through their posts carefully. Express which portions of their opinions you agree with and ask your fellow classmates questions that might guide them to see your point of view more clearly. If you can’t find anyone with whom you disagree, add additional support (in the form of examples/reasons your classmates have not previously mentioned) to strengthen their posts.
Writing Requirements
- In addition to one initial post, respond to at least two peers.
- Initial Post Length: minimum of 250 words
- Secondary Post Length: minimum of 200 words per post
- Using APA format, incorporate appropriate in-text citation(s) referring to the academic concept with corresponding works cited page for the initial post.
