DIFFERENCE

The graphic novel by Gareth Hinds is only one of many. But the graphic novel I felt like it was better for me. It was better for me because I could actually see what was going on. Instead of guessing what was happening. It put a mental picture in my head that I can actually see. But the online version was kind of hard to understand. Even though it was in translation form from old English, it was hard for me. But the book makes you come up with your own image of the action that is happening in the book. The book is very detailed in both. Like the pictures show what is going on to the point, while the online version got you thinking on how gruesome or how detailed it looks by the words they use. I do think the graphic novel is a valuable rendering of the text. I think so because the saying “picture is worth a thousand words.” So I do feel it is valuable. So that is why I agree on this graphic novel. I feel the only difference between the two endings of the books is that you’ll understand it easier from a picture book. But from the novel it would be harder because it would be so detailed but to confusing to put it together. While looking around the class and listening to the rest of the students in our class, I came to the conclusion that most of them like the graphic novel because they could not understand the translation and neither the old English. Also because they are lazy. The ending of the book will have the same general idea but would present it in two different ways. Which will cause a problem with certain assignments? Like we should come to agree on one of them to read because you might get a imagine that was totally wrong from the novel book then the graphic which will cause you to get a certain answer on a test or essay wrong. But they are amazing both of those books. But I rather read the graphic novel. But those are my reasoning’s on this matter.
