Graphic Novel

By definition graphic novels are novels whose narrative is conveyed through acombination of text and art, usually in comic strip form.

Eisner,W (1978)

The term graphic novel is now generally used to describe any story book in a comicformat that resembles a novel in length and develops as one piece of narrative work.

Novels are presented as books in linear form; picture books tell a story with textaccompanied by illustrations; films work with moving images and dialogue but graphicnovels combine all these elements as a medium for story-telling.

They are like prose in that they are written in printed form, but they are also like films inthat they tell a story through visual images.

Smith. J(2005)

In a graphic novel, readers derive information visually from pictures which are presentedin sequence. Facial expressions and physical movements are relayed visually so muchso that they, graphic novels are literature in cinematic format .

Introduction

What are graphic novels?

7/27/2019 106326555

3/70

In an increasingly visual culture, the use of graphic novels will definitely promote literacy

especially amongst the younger generation due to the elements of humour and fun.

Encourage reluctant readers to read as the medium of visuals complement reading of

graphic novels. They are more appealing to the eye.

Visuals have a very strong impact on the reader, who makes meaning through pictures

and images.

Graphic novels offer value , variety and creativity. Pictures make texts more accessible

especially to second language users and reluctant readers.

Offer diverse alternatives to traditional texts text light, actions faster and more reader

friendly format.

Introduce literary works like the classics to young adults who would probably not read

them in their traditional novel form.

Reading graphic novels may require more complex cognitive skills than the reading of

texts alone. (Lavin 1998).

Makes learning effective as graphic novels promote brain based learning making use of

both the right and left brain.

Teachers and educationist are now aware of the strong attraction that comics have

over young people.

Most youngsters would not read novels but they are most willing to read comics.

Making the most of this attraction, graphic novels are now being brought into the

classrooms as a means of getting youngsters to read.

As opposed to common beliefs that comics are all violent, raunchy, or sexist there are

now classics such as Black Beauty by Anna Sewell, David Copperfield by Charles

Dickens and Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain as graphic novels.

Why use graphic novels?

Graphic novels in the classroom

7/27/2019 106326555

4/70

The words in graphic novels are minimal, yet the pictures help youngsters to

comprehend.

Second language learners give up reading if texts are too wordy. Graphic novels pull

in reluctant readers rather than pushing them away as the visuals function as clues to

help their understanding.

A good picture paints a thousand words. As the pictures in the Graphic Novels are

universal, they are readily recognized and accepted by the reluctant second language

reader.

Treat it just like a book or a comic book. Read, read and enjoy reading.

Keep it fun. Introduce fun activities while exploring the graphic novels . Extend the

activities to go beyond the text, to areas found in real life.

Open up their minds while trying out these activities using graphic novels as a take off

point.

Use graphic novels as materials for language learning as students are familiar with

them. Graphic novels are interesting materials in an easily understandable format for

youngsters.

Encourage students involvement and participation in the activities by making them

play the leading roles.

Create a sense of ownership by assigning responsibilities to the students. Some of

them can serve as experts or consultants because they probably know more about

comics than the teacher .

Set in 1888, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are called down to Boscombe Valley (a fictitiousplace in Herefordshire) to investigate the death of Mr. Charles McCarthy. Insp. Lestrade, adetective from Scotland Yard whose meager abilities are often upstaged by Holmes's brilliantdeductions, has concluded without much ado that it is a murder, and that McCarthy's son Jamesis the killer. James was seen by one witness following his father to the nearby pond, and

another, a young girl, saw the two remonstrating with each other by the pond.

Holmes will not accept Lestrade's conclusion, however, as there are some facts that simply donot seem to fit. Who was McCarthy going to the pond to meet? He had told his serving-man thathe had to keep an appointment there, from which he never came back alive. How could themeeting have been with James when McCarthy believed that his son was in Bristol? Why didMcCarthy use the call "Cooee!", which his son is used to using? Why did he get angry withJames? Why won't James reveal the exact nature of the conversation when his silence mightwell put his neck in a noose? How did a piece of clothing a few yards from James and his dyingfather vanish without a trace while James was right there? What did McCarthy's dying wordsabout "a rat" mean? Who could have wanted McCarthy dead, if not James, and why? Is MissTurner, who wants to marry James, somehow tied into all this?

Holmes employs his usual keen powers to unravel this tangle of questions, and once again, heputs Lestrade to shame. Young James is left in jail by the time the story ends, and may not evenbe spared a referral to the next assizes, but Sherlock Holmes has arranged for Her Majesty'scase against the young man to fall apart if it seems likely that a court will send him to the

The Real Boscombe Valley

Sherlock Holmes describes to Watson en route to the murder: "Boscombe Valley is a country

district not very far from Ross, in Herefordshire." There is no such location by this name ordescription in England. Leslie S. Klinger in his The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes calls it 'adisguised name' and lists the possible true locations of the murder site as posted by otherresearchers. Obviously Watson changed the location of the crime. Through that insight, it ispossible that names and other identifying characteristics of the crime would have just as easilybeen changed.

Adaptation

The events of this story were recently adapted into a promenade-style play for the 2007Edinburgh Festival, now under the name of "Murder in the Gardens". In this version of the story,although most of the names and histories of the characters remain unaltered, the events of the

mystery are relocated to Edinburgh, with the murder of McCarthy taking place in Princes StreetGardens and Holmes and Watson being called in while attending lectures on police methods inEdinburgh University. As well as this, the killer is, in the end, revealed to be Jane Turner'smother rather than her father, her father having died long before the events of the play, withJames McCarthy cleared of the crime after Watson's diagnosis of the body confirms that itwould have been impossible for the son to kill his father due to the angle and location of thewound on the back of the head.

Seeking the Truth

Being an investigator, Sherlock Holmes must take into account all the evidence put forward andanalyse them to prove whether James McCarthy is innocent or not. If he had only relied on what

16

Themes and Values

Themes

the papers and rumours said about James, he would not be able to solve the case successfully.Weighing the facts, evidence, the accusers statement and the physical evidence at the crimescene, Sherlock Holmes proves that a thorough investigation to seek the truth will beworthwhile.

Keeping a secret

There are two instances where this is shown. The first instance is when Sherlock Holmes writesa letter inviting John Turner to his house wanting to see him to avoid scandal. It was at thatmoment; John Turner breaks down and confesses to the killing of Charles McCarthy. SherlockHolmes later asks John Turner to write a confession letter and promises to use it only if Jamesis found guilty. Towards the end of the story, John Turner dies; James gets out of prison andmarries Alice. Sherlock Holmes keeps his promise and desroyes the letter.Next instance is when Charles McCarthy promises to keeep the old secret between him andJohn Turner about their past. He breaks his promises and uses it to blackmail John Turner, whohas turned a new leaf and lives a well and respected life. Here , we can see how a secret canbring more harm than good.

Being Knowledgeable

Being knowledgeable really helps in solving the case. Sherlock Holmes, using his knowledgeand experinces, cleverly solves the mystery. Knowing the word cooee is an Australian wordand associating Raat with Ballarat really helps to narrow down the suspect. Next, whenSherlock Holmes is at the crime scene, he examines the footprints. He also takes into accountthe unusual mark on Charless head and where he was hit. He also deduce that the murderer isa rich man from the ashes of the Indian cigar he found at the crime scene.

Law and Order

If you break the law, you will be punished. You should not take matters into your own hands.There are many ways to solve this problem and killing another human being is not one of it.

Do not judge a book by its cover

Keep your promises

Its never too late to turn over a new leaf
