differences of basic graphic


fiction and flash fiction 2
Graphic fiction is
a creative piece
written in comic
form.

short written creative
piece usually
consisting of a few
hundred words.

- Graphic fiction or a graphic novel is a comic
book narrative that is equivalent in form and
dimension to the prose novel (Campbell 200,
81).

- The pictures are arranged in sequenced in


image panels and dialogues are written in
speech bubbles. The illustrations allow the
readers to imagine and experience the
characters and events in the story. 5
Here are some of the features of graphic fiction
or graphic novel according to Singh (2012).

1. Autographic forms are the marks of author’s


handwriting which creates an impact that the
whole novel is a manuscript and thus provides a
sense of intimacy.
2. Graphic novels encourage interactivity in the
minds of the reader as he fills in the blanks
image panels 6
3. Filling in the blanks between image
panels makes the reader imagine the
actions portrayed in the story.

4. The language, syntax, and meaning of a


graphic novel spring primarily through the
relationship between images than words.

5. Graphic fiction combines book and


screen 7
Some of the examples of graphic novels are the
following:
1. “In the Shadow of No Towers: 9/11” by Art
Spielgelman in 2004 which tells the story about
the terrorist attack on September 11, in
America. This also depicts the traumatic and
tragic experience of American people during the
9/11 terrorist attack.

8
2. “The Barn Owl’s Wondrous Capers” by
Sarnath Banerjee in 2009 portrays 18th
Century Calcutta exploiting the myth of the
“Wandering Jew.”

3. “Louis Riel” by Chester Brown in 2003 is a


fictionalized violent rebellion in the 19th
Century on the Canadian prairie who led by
Riel. 9
Flash fiction is imaginative literature
of extreme brevity. It could range
from a word to a thousand (Gacusan
2018). It is known as micro stories,
postcard fiction, nanotales and short
shorts.

10
According to Sustana (2020), most of the flash
fictions have these common characteristics.
1. Brevity. Flash fiction presents the story with
fewest words as possible.
2. Complete plot. Flash fiction emphasizes the
development of plot. It has a beginning, middle,
and ending of the story.
3. Surprising ending. The successful hallmark
of a flash fiction is its twist at the end of the
story. 11
Here are some of the flash fictions:

1. “Angels and Blueberries” by Tara Campbell


is a story of various explanations for the color of
the sky that involves angels and blueberries.

First line: “Why is the sky blue?” you ask. Well,


it is all depends on who’s answering.

12
2. “Taylor Swift” by Hugh Behm-Steinberg tells a weird
story of how anyone can order a perfectly clone of Taylor
Swift at his doorsteps.
First line: “You’re in love; it’s great, you swipe on your phone
and order: the next day a Taylor Swift clone shows up at your
house.”

3. “Unnecessary Things” by Tatyana Tolstaya is a story of


finding an old and torn teddy bear, “unnecessary things”
(items that do not serve any useful purpose), that she adored
as a child.
First line: This Teddy bear once had amber eyes made from
special glass- each one had a pupil and an iris. The bear itself
was gray and stiff, with wiry fur. I adored him. 13
Here, let us define and identify the different 21st literary genres we enjoy today.

Diary- It is a collection of discrete accounts of a person’s


experiences and thoughts each day.
Drama – It is a literary work that tells a story through
actions and dialogues.
Comedy- A type of drama that makes the audience
laugh.
Fiction- It is a literature that describes imaginary
events and people.
Blog- This refers to your regular thoughts, opinions, or
experiences that you put on the internet for the people
to read. 14
Literary devices are techniques a writer uses to
produce a special effect in their writing.

Examples are:
Simile- It is a figure of speech comparing two
unlike things that is often introduced by like or
as.
15
Metaphor- is a figure of speech in which ideas,
actions, or objects are described in non-literal
terms. In short, it’s when an author compares
one thing to another. The two things being
described usually share something in common
but are unalike in all other respects.

16
Symbolism- refers to the use of an object, figure,
event, situation, or other idea in a written work to
represent something else—typically a broader
message or deeper meaning that differs from its
literal meaning. The things used for symbolism are
called "symbols," and they’ll often appear multiple
times throughout a text, sometimes changing in
meaning as the plot progresses.

17
Hyperbole- is an exaggerated statement that's
not meant to be taken literally by the reader. It
is often used for comedic effect and/or
emphasis
Imagery- is a figure of speech where an author
describes a scene, thing, or idea so that it
appeals to our senses (taste, smell, sight, touch,
or hearing). This device is often used to help
the reader clearly visualize parts of the story
by creating a strong mental picture. 18
