Connection between a graphic novel and a narrative

There are many differences between a graphic novel and a narrative. But there are also some similarities. Today I had a great lesson trying to piece together parts of a graphic novel. We were split up into groups of about six, and then we were given pictures to arrange to "tell" a story. Although there was not a single word in those pictures, it told a very good story that all our group could understand.

On the other hand, we also studied a narrative titled "Nothing But The Truth". It was a very interesting story to read. It was all words and not a picture was included in the book. It was also well understood by our group.

Both of them tell a story. The story is told in a different away though. A graphic novel has many viewpoints. These viewpoints actually express the writer's own thoughts on the subject. A narrative, tells the story from many character's point of view; in this case the author does not convey his thoughts through the story.

These are stories. Stories that I shall enjoy, be it a graphic novel or a narrative.

P.S: My preferred learning styles are Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, and Linguistic in order.
