Every student has to study the subject Literature when they are in Secondary 1 . At that point of time,they are asked to read novels and so on. There are two types of novels. A Normal Novel and a Graphic Novel.
Normal novels is a dread to many students. Normal novels are bulky and are filled wth very small words,thus making it even less appealing to the "book-haters". Normal novels most of the time contain no pictures. The words of a "book-hater" : 'So long! So boring! Aiyah, I don't want to read it anymore.'
Graphic Novels is more popular with students. A lower standard of interpretation is needed. With a lot of pictures and little words, it is able to attract the attention of student for a long time. Who gets bored reading them? I do.
Both novels are created because the author wants to convey a message. Normal novels convey the message through words. Lots and lots of them. Some of these words might be complicated and it is up to the reader to unscramble them to know the definition. This is a reason why people like graphic novels. They do not like to think! Graphic novels use pictures to express meanings. They are often action packed and may be hilarious.
Personally,the winner is : Novels! They are more detailed and help me to improve my standard of english. Literature will be easy in no time!
Yours Sincerely,
Jay
