Do you think the use of illustration as opposed to just written text is an effective way of delivering this story? Why or why not?

I do think that the illustration are an effective way of delivering the story. This story of this book is a very sad topic. I think the pictures are still showing the sadness and delivering the story. With words you read and think about the way things were. With the pictures you can visualize the suffering and the way things were, while also enjoying the comics. The comics for me make it somewhat easier to read the story.
