I have chose to read "9-11 Emergency Relief."

This novel in fact does follow the rule of thrids, but in some cases, the boxes are different shapes than squares. The characters in this novel are all same but in a different way. they have the same type of structures but they are different within themselves. the layout of this novel is the general structure of any other graphic novel. besides the fact that some of the pages have just one big picture on them, it follows the rule of thirds. i am drawn into this book because of the different style of the layout. if the layout was just plain i dont really think i would be interested. the colors of this novel are somewhat basic. none of them are really that bright when looking at them. but yet there are barely any colors in the novel at all.

hw for 2-3
