I enjoyed our discussion this week about graphic novels. I had never read one until Young Adult Lit class last semester when we read American Born Chinese. I liked reading it more than I expected to, but it was a new way to get used to reading.
At first I flipped through the pages really quickly, just reading the reads and skipping the panels that were just pictures. Soon I realized that this is not an effective way to read graphic novels, because you miss out on half the story. You will be confused if you don't consider the drawings as much as you do the writing.
Now that I have a better understanding of graphic novels, I hope to read some more in the future.
