Evaluative Criteria: Style and Plot


Style: The author did a great job in using different ways to show the illustrations changing the size and the amount used on every page. We can also see how the author used the yellow textbox to signify Rapunzel’s point of view and the use of speech bubbles was also creative.  Last but not least the story is told as a graphic novel.

Plot: We can see the plot in this story is a quest. Both Jack and Rapunzel must embark on a journey to fulfill their own. Rapunzel needs to rescue her mom and Jack needs to replace his mom’s house. As the story goes on they both find out not only do they each have their own quest, they now share a quest together of destroying Gothel. The climax is when they work together to acquire as much knowledge as possible to bring Gothel down and ultimately do.
