My Connection Between Graphic Novels And Narrative Texts



-----> Example of a Narrative Text

---> A narrative text is a story that is created in a constructive format ( written, spoken, poetry, images, song or dance ) that describes a sequence of fictional or non-fictional events. A narrative can also be told by a character within a larger narrative.







-----> Example of a Graphic Novel
---> A graphic novel is a type of comic book, usually with a lengthy and complex storyline similar to those of narratives, and aimed at all audiences, generally speaking. The term also encompasses comic short story anthologies, and in some cases bound collections of previously published comic book series. Graphic novels are typically bound in longer and more durable formats than familiar comic magazines, using the same materials and methods as printed books.



Based on the information above, we can conclude that graphic novels and narratives are similar in a way, only that both tell the story in a different way. The graphic novel tells us through a series of colourful and elaborate pictures while the narrative tells us through words. That would be all to the connection.
