graphic novels: literature studies expectations |
"explain how literary texts raise awareness about a range of topics, issues, ideas, cultures, events, and people"
"identify ways in which literary texts can promote readers' intellectual and imaginative growth" |
As we explore different genres of graphic novels, it should become clear that the themes, topics, and ideas being presented are as engaging, profound, and as compelling as that found in traditional literary texts. The tools employed by graphic novel writers may be different from traditional writers, but the intention is not: to engage, challenge, and transform the reader through immersion with the text.
