In my graphic novel, the format is not set up in the rule of thirds format. In fact my book is set up more along the lines of a normal chapter book format, but instead of using words every chapter pictures are exchanged and or improvised to used and explain the actions taking place. The reasoning as to why the pictures are placed in the order they are arranged in; is simply because the words can only specify so much, but the phrase "a picture can say a thousand words" says it all, and shows how in depth a message can be conveyed just through a drawing. What is neat about the novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret is that it does not use the format of thought, speech, or action bubbles. The story would change if action bubbles were included on the page because the words are there to explain a main action; therefore the pictures are put in to further explain and portray detail on that main aspect or event in the story or plotline.
