When you think of graphic novels or comic books, the first thing that comes to mind is "that's for children." I find this not to be true, because when I think of graphic novels its people being story tellers. That's what graphic novels are, just stories of one situation or another. When I read these graphic novels two things come to mind.
-how well they express the storyline?
-and did the novel keep my attention?

I feel these two questions really shows how well a graphic novel is put together. It is so important how well a story is put together, as like every story there is a beginning, middle, and end. Writing these novels can easily help you communicate better in the media world, why you may ask? The reason is that its easier to give a 30 minute presentation about a new computer then 5 five minute one. It's so hard to communicate your idea in a short period of time and if we can write these short graphic novels and express our ideas that will help us in the long run. The more we practice these short stories, the easier it will be to express our ideas in the media world.
