comment on style / language

The graphic novel presents language differently than any other form of novel. The language is seen as pure dialogue throughout. There is little to no description in between each character's thoughts and words. The story is told through words and the use of pictures. While there is no written description of characters' emotions or setting descriptions, the reader can see a lot in each picture frame. With only pictures to make the descriptions, it sometimes leaves what is really happening open to interpretation. However, it also forces the reader to pay greater attention to the surroundings in order to pick up the little details.
