The connections between a Graphic novel and a narrative novel

Well, isn't it obvious? The graphic one has pictures, while the narrative is filled with words. But, the differences don't just end there. For a start, graphic novels are more suited for people who are more"visual", who learn using pictorial depictions of things instead of boring old words. Being a "visual" person, it makes reading so much more enjoyable and interesting, as it caters to my favourite learning style, giving it a large boosts in reaching the "i like this book" part of my subconscious mind.

As for the narrative novel, it caters more to the people who's favourite learning style is "linguistic". They tend to enjoy reading wordy books as it caters to their learning style. over the years, the line between, "visual", "linguistic" and all the other types of learning styles have been blurred, making me something like a jack of all trades, but in this case, all learning styles. To me, there are few connections between both types of story presentation. They are just stories.

The connection would depend on the creativity of the writer. Whether he can make the book exist in the twilight zone between these two forms of presentation. Maybe once in a while, a graphical presentation could pop up, showing maybe a crucial conversation between the main characters. This would help the reader understand, and be able to build a picture in his head and visualise what is taking place. Though some might prefer just reading a plain old storybook, but this IS the future. Everything would have to multi-task. Even simple things like hand phones, who ere originally a form of communication, being forced to do all sorts of other things to go with the flow. Well, perhaps, a new era has may be born. The era of graphically narrative novels.

These are my top 3 learning preferences:

1. Visual

2. Naturalistic

3. Interpersonal
